Did you guys make those emblems in-house?

Roadster Shop · 11-04-2013, 03:25 PM

Thanks everyone - yes, we made the emblems.

Next video is up - wheels and tires!

super cool

swamp rat · 11-04-2013, 07:36 PM

Even more cool when you can catch the show on TV, caught the end of 2 of them now..

Roadster Shop · 11-11-2013, 12:02 PM

Well, the truck made it's official debut at the SEMA show last week and was a huge hit. We were also honored to take home a GM design award for the C-10.

Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll have some good completed pics. In the meantime, here are the next few videos to bring us up to date:

Another great looking build.

67ctener · 11-11-2013, 01:30 PM

Where is the burnout video??

greystoke · 11-11-2013, 01:42 PM

Awesome build, if you guys do other vehicles ( non truck ) I hope you will create a build thread in the Alternate Tinkerings section of this forum.

SCOTI · 11-11-2013, 07:54 PM

Beautiful truck. You guys definitely can hold your own against the biggest names in the industry. Chassis details.... drivetrain, appearance, overall concept. All that & more.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-11-2013, 07:58 PM

Truck turned out great congrats on the awards guys..

classicchev · 11-11-2013, 08:22 PM

Cool details, love the Craftsman touch.. I think every guy one here has a set or two of their tools, just makes the truck that much more special.. Now I wish I really would have made it to SEMA ths year to see this one in person!!!

Good luck getting top dollar at auction, maybe you sould setup a autocross course there and "sell" a few rides to the serious bidders!!! Bet you that would increase the bids.

HOTRODSBYCHIP · 11-12-2013, 10:07 AM

I would like to know if you guys sell those gap tools you use on the Craftsman C10?

sprint_9 · 11-16-2013, 12:44 PM

Great build, really like the interior and custom touches on the emblems.

68'CTown · 11-17-2013, 11:54 PM

Roadster Shop: I am building a 68 C10 right now and I love the charcoal color you used. Is that color a custom color or is that from a current car? Thanks!

For some reason we have had a few people ask about them. It's not really anything special, its just a piece of whatever thickness material you want to make the gap to, and you use it as a reference thickness in the gap when you are gapping the door. Just quicker and easier than using calipers or tape measure.

Roadster Shop · 11-19-2013, 11:57 AM

Just a quick shot of the truck from a last minute shoot last week...thought you guys would dig it...

Coursey · 11-19-2013, 12:15 PM

For the 'blue collar' guys, paint sticks work well.

Awesome Truck! I wonder what it would look like if they put Craftsman across the grill?
