A little tease before the final completion. Have a lot of cleanup to do now. Black 85 k10 belongs to JRconniek10



You know Mike that your little girl will one day be driving one or both of these trucks. "Should I drive dad's truck or use Grandpa's? Decisions, Decisions".... ;D ;D ;D

Well actually Mike and my daughter are gonna have granddaughter #2 in July if not sooner and  that will make 6 grand kids for us by Sept. So she may have to fight for seat time in Pappy's truck.

 :) Or you could start right now and pick up a truck for each one! :) :) Congrats to all involved with the incoming baby! :)

It was gorgeous out today. The father in-law and I decided to get the trucks out and hit a show. The first show the blue Chevy has been in attendance. Brought home a trophy. Was very rewarding to enjoy all the hard work.

Hi
Fist of i wanted to say WOW what a beautiful truck!!!
I was wondering exactly how you mounted those guages in the oem guage panel I'm currently working on my square back and think those style guages would look beautiful.
Thanks
Dennis

Congrats on the trophy Mike! :) That just validates all your hard work. You can tell JR that he would have got the trophy but he didn't have a stock front bumper on it. He needs to sell me that Warn enforcer bumper and go get a new stock bumper!! ;D I will be holding my breath on that one....... 8)

Thanks guys.
On the gauges I actually took the OEM bezel and cut the recessed rings off flush from the back side. Then the gauges actually fit into it perfect. The clamps on the back side of the gauges held them tight to the bezel.
Don- I've barked up that tree for years. I wish I could get my hands on that bumper. He's hard to persuade.

I hear you on that Mike. I bet you have got on him too. Oh well maybe we will find one in someone's attic one day. Yeah right.

Very proud of the way the truck came out its been a long time coming, and for him to get a trophy first time out and all the positive comments from people at the show means a lot but the compliments from this forum from guys that know exactly what effort it takes to build our trucks means the most. So thank you to everyone here. Oh and no way am I gonna sell my bumper, but I would love to find a couple more of them.
