I have been trying to calculate the measurements from the pics you have to fab my own. i don't like the ones currently on the market that you just attach to existing 4 wheel dollies/skates.

Are you planning on running the Silverado lower trim panels on the door or a derivative thereof? A leather covered one with a polished/chrome strip at the top or are you leaving the bottom of the door naked?

We have discussed that but I’m not 100% sure yet...as for now it’s staying naked. I just like simplicity of it, not to over done

Finally it’s on wheels! I really like your truck it’s come along way and loved it when you first bought it. The fact that it looks factory until you look inside is the best part. I’m not generally a fan of ultra low trucks but this is my favourite by far, well done sir well done.

Stunning!

CHROMAHOLIC · 04-22-2020, 06:08 PM

68longhorn · 04-24-2020, 04:25 PM

CHROMAHOLIC · 04-25-2020, 07:11 AM

thank you

pwtr02ss · 05-01-2020, 08:50 AM

Perfect!

tobiahr · 05-01-2020, 12:18 PM

looks like @airslamit just bought a poor copy of your truck. TBH, it looks like a generic version of a name brand when compared to your work.

STOCKISH · 05-01-2020, 09:34 PM

So killer! Looks amazing man. What are the paint color codes? Still Santa Fe Tan? (sorry, nearly color blind so hard to tell on the computer)

CHROMAHOLIC · 05-01-2020, 11:20 PM

thanks man....we tweaked Buckskin a little.

ajgriffin · 05-02-2020, 03:11 AM

Truck is absolutely amazing! Crazy how the general concept is unchanged from before the build, but this is definitely a completely different truck! Awesome work!

I'd love to hear and see this thing rolling a bit!

thank you...I didn't want to stray too far from what makes us love these things, just a few subtle changes here and there

Kinda looks like you just need to put the center caps on it and it’s done. The truck looks flawless.

Thanks, lol... center caps will be last. Have to test drive it, make some air ride adjustments, charge the air conditioning system...a few other small things and give it a once over after the test

"Ah just a few little things here and there"

Glad to see it under its own power. Congratulations on sticking it out. The truck is beautiful. It was my favorite C-10 before you bought it, and now its my double favorite. I'm glad you kept the original look and paint color(ish), just took it to a whole new level. I doubt I'll ever get to see the truck in person, but thank you for sharing your journey with us. I've enjoyed seeing it come together.

thanks so much...never say never, hopefully when life gets back to somewhat normal for us all I can get to some shows in the US, I'm glad you and everyone that followed enjoyed growing old with me as I built the damn thing, lol

Wicked, I probably shouldn't get close to it, I'd drown it in drool

I love this truck!
Do you ever wish you had chrome plated the bumpers?
I know they are highly modified.
Maybe plating them wasn’t even possible.
