Re: 1966 C-10 build
Lookin good all around! You’ve done some nice work! How did you match the paint when you did the rocker repairs? Is that a factory paint? It’s a color we don’t see often, what color is it? Pic o my cruiser...

Re: 1966 C-10 build
Glad you got it sorted out. I know what you mean...someone asks a question...then they say.."nevermind I figured it out", but never comes back to say what they actually used or did! Very frustrating!!

Re: 1966 C-10 build
Of course it takes a bunch of work to get the brakes to work right. the power brake unit from CPP along with the power steering unit and all the associated parts is allot of work..

Re: 1966 C-10 build
Thanks guys.
It didn't come cheap and it didn't come easy. But she's worth it. Now I need to convince her to stop smoking every time we go out. Its like taking out your best girl but you know she's a smoker.. Thinking of getting her the patch. LOL The new motor wont be done till next spring so we're gonna have to come to some sort of an agreement. Time to give her a bath and take her out for a test drive

Re: 1966 C-10 build
Thanks everyone for the kind words. She still has quiet a ways to go but we are enjoying her as she sits right now.
We went to the Intervention this past weekend and had a good time. So many trucks it was overwhelming at times. Recognized a few trucks from here and chatted it up with as many as possible. Nothing but positive comments on the truck and a few offers to buy her as she sits.. Flattering but that's a HELL NO! still have lots to do to get her where we want her at so its little by little..
