my first c10 custom
 

I am not sure how many of these 60-66 trucks i have bought ,sold,traded or owned but i do know this is my first complete custom truck . i have had tons of cabs , beds or parts trucks but never a complete running driving truck and thanks to delmo i have a very nice one!! check this out i sold my lil heard off on wednesday. delmo sent me some pics thursday of this truck he bought for a guy and he was going to 'delmotize' it(my new werd ) and the duude switched plans or something sooo the truck came up for grabs. friday around 9:05 am CA time i called del and we made the deal ( killer deal thanks again del)I told del we could work it out in the next month or so to meet up and get the truck, I hung up the phone and called my buddy mike (also a member "newagecustoms")mike has a transport biz and asked what he was doing.He tells me hes in LA dropping off a car. the time 9:10 (wow) i asked mike if he could call delmo and see how close he was and if he could pick up my truck. mike was 9 miles from del and within 1/2 hour or so my new c/10 custom was heading to phoenix !! car karma

What's the "big picture" plan?

Here it was 30 min after he called me at Delmos place. The Roadrunner got dropped off at the LA docks and is getting shipped to New Zealand.

and are those white color steering columns/wheels factory correct on these trucks? i thought they were the fawn color, but i've seen others with white ones too

Re: my first c10 custom

How about 22x8.5's and 24x15's layin flat?
A set of 405/25-24's would look killer under those rear bedsides!!!

Hey joedoh, you can get one like it. If you find one it's only a phone call away and it would be on a trailer heading your way.

Re: my first c10 custom
 

63-64 were white

Re: my first c10 custom
 

Dino, this is the color combo I picked out for my truck so can't wait to see how it turns out. The 383 will be nice but how about a small block 427 or 434? Bigger is always better.

Re: my first c10 custom
 

nice find dino. a quick question on the side, anybody know where i can find a stock hood latch, my brother is building a 65 and that is the only part having problems finding, even at swap meets? any help would be appreciated. thanks

Re: my first c10 custom
 

That is a clean truck! Seems Delmo has a habit of finding some nice original trucks up there. Look forward to watching the build.

Re: my first c10 custom
 

pm newagecustom i just gave him a few on saturday with a bunch of other parts.

Re: my first c10 custom
 

hmmmm thats a thought to thanks

Re: my first c10 custom
 

brotha i dont know were delmo finds them,but he does find some killers

Re: my first c10 custom
 

Wow, nice find there Dino. Can't wait to see this one built for pro-street. :metal:

Re: my first c10 custom
 

So sick! I can't believe you didn't have Delmo do his thing on this one before you had it shipped home! It will be sweet pro street on some Delmo smoothies! I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Congrats.
