Nice to see you come on to the H.A.M.B, we already know each other from the truck forum , but the trucks looking great and nice photos!
Dam...that thing looks good...so does it have the white walls on it now? Looks like you do some good work. That big block will make it fun to drive for sure!
Cool build. I'm a huge fan of vintage Chevy trucks, especially the 60-66s. I like 'em low, and the headlight height on those trucks make them look like vacuum cleaners.
ya ive been a lucker on here for a while just never posted.. lots of cool shit on this forum though!!!!! haha!!! thats what im hoping for yes it has whitewalls on it now lmao ive never thought of it like that!!!
Hey nice c10. I love these trucks, a 66 was what I learned to drive in. I am helpin my my brother build one now.
wow!!! Im really liking everything your doing with you pick up..really digging the master cylinder/proportioning valve..gotta know where u got it
ahh ok ya i get on there.. my name is coulter on there.. here is my build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=449548 Nice!!!! i got it from classic performance products.. its very nice!!! thanx man!!
got a few new updates got a new transmission pan and dipstick installed worked on routeing my headlight and fan wires also got my wheel tubs and fenders finished up
Oh man, that is so cool. Short box's seem to be all the rage, but I like em long and low. Very Nice. Gary
Nice one man. Seems like you know what youre doin rather well for being your first build. Thumbs up for that! Whats your plan for the bed? woodor steel? And are you keepin it like this or you goin to paint it? Just curious, i think it kool as is as it seems in pretty good shape. The only thing i dont feel is the tires, theres a little bit too much white, but reallyand overlookable detail.
ya the first time i saw a bagged longbed in this body style i had to have one!!! my buddy had it just sitting in a feild..i was pumped!! thanx man!! the bed will be be a dark stain high gloss wood with polished stainless strips!! im gonna make the bed floor hinged so i can fold it up for easy access to work on it if i need to.. im gonna fix the drivers side eventually and just kinda blend it back in to try to replicate the original patina.. gonna leave it like that for a while.. maybe later on down the road i might paint it
