Noob Here
Well i recently accuried a 68 Chevy C-10 Long bed. Dad gave it to me when i got my lisence ( Im 16 ) for acouple reasons. At frist i was like eghh no.... but after looking on here today and looking at all the awesome trucks ive decided that im actually gunna like this truck. So ive come up with a few ideas of things i would like to do to this truck, if you could can you tell me what'cya think about them and such.
- I want to have 2 bucket seats and a centerconsole, is there a special year/style of seats that work best? i do not want that bench seat with the console that flips down IMO its kinda ugly, and i just want to drive me and one other person -I would like to drop a different motor in it, Right now its got a 327. Gas milage isnt really a big deal to me, cuz i will be getting a jeep for DD. Once this truck is done up nice it will be driven just like on the weekends and for special events and such. -My buddy was telling me about hacking of the pipes, and running staight from the headers and coming out like a 4" pipe out like right between the door and the back tire somewhere. Ive thought i would look cool, anyone done it before? - I deffinatly would like to lower it, but put a airbag system in it so i can lower it when its parked and sometimes there is huge dips on the roads over here and i dont want to scrape. -Im thinking the Satin Black paint job on this thing would look absolutely killer. Then maybe some like white and black leather enterior -Im not sure exactly what rims i want, but im thinking about like 20" rims with some big fatty wide tires in the back. I really like the style of rims on the websites logo on the top. What rims where those taken from? So ya sorry for the long post im just trying to get some inset on me rebuilding this truck. I have no clue to where to even start really. This will be my 1st truck building up. If you can, can u possibly post some ROUGH amounts on cost on some of the things like airbags, and bucket seats, or how much it cost u to get your truck painted. Cuz ive got no idea. im a BIG TIME nooby here.   THXX for any information at all sorry for the bqd pics, i took them with my phone
