Just wanted to introduce myself.

Just wanted to say hi. I have been poking around the forums and really enjoy reading all the great write ups as well as seeing the progress on all these fantastic trucks. I have a few plans for mine, I just picked up a 72 C10 short box. I already have the ECE 4/6 drop kit on the way. I will see what happens from there. Anyways thank you for the great forum!

Here it is as I bought it.

Re: Just wanted to introduce myself.

The steering wheel didn't have a horn cover so I designed one myself to cut. I did design it after others I saw on the internet...

Here is the 3D model...


And then I 3D printed it to see how it will look...


Hopefully I can get this milled soon. And yes those are my feet!

Re: Just wanted to introduce myself.

I like the horn button idea! Looking forward to seeing progress.

BTW, the loss of hp will be easier to deal with than the poor aesthetics of an ugly emblem.
