Honestly I have not thought about it, but it sounds like somthing I would like to do. It's only 3 hours from me so that isn't bad at all. I am guessing you are gonna try to make it?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

When are they going to announce the other trophy so you can share what it is for with the rest of us?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I will definitely do that, but unfortunately sometimes it takes forever for them to post up the results. Maybe I can call around and try to find out a little sooner!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I have a call in on the second one still but no calls returned yet. Here is the one listed.

PP – 55 – 72 TRUCK

1 196 David Gosnell 1967 Chevrolet C10
2 286 Mike “smiley” Mikeska 1970 Chevrolet Truck
3 602 Ernesto Carball 1972 Chevrolet C10

Congrats! To be selected as all the Judges top pic is freakin awesome.:metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Just read your thread from start to finish and have to say what a great job you've done.
It was like reading a book, with all the anticipation of what would happen next and the drama with the cracked block and the bad mechanic.
Seeing where you took this truck from day one sure does give a guy a positive feeling when he looks at his own project and wonders if it's ever going to be finished. and congrats on the two first place.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I think it was just the judges that judged the class I was in, but still it's cool!!! Don't know how many trucks were there either, but it was alot.

JJ, that is really awesome for you to take the time to read my build thread, THANK YOU! The build definitely had it's highs and lows but it was worth it all now. I hope this does give you tons of incentive to just keep pluggin along on your project. Hopefully if you have not already started a build thread you will and we can all enjoy all of your pain, heartache, sweat, bleeding, brokedness, and smiles also!!!! :lol:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

i hope we arent in the same class at GoodGuys !! LOL

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

HAHAHHAHA you sir are a commodian, yes commodian.......cause that was sh*tty!!!! :lol: We are not even in the same class, mine is 67-72 truck and yours is somewhere between OMG and Holy Sh*t Everybody...Look at This!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I almost spewed strawberry slushy out my nose when I read that ! Lol, thanks...I just hope I can get half the chicks that you get to hang out with yOur truck !
