82 c10 305 long bed ratrodded
« on: March 22, 2009, 01:36:50 am »
heres my truck small project but mainly a daily driver my project is another story. i bought this for $1000 in ohio was red with a tan stripe very ugly at the time. did a little interior and exterior, looking to drop it wanted to see what everyone else likes. i was thinking 5/6 static beltech spindles and shackles with c notch. here are a few pics i have will get better ones tomorrow. also gonna paint the tires red and add white walls. new carpet soon too. interior will all be black. also does anyone know how hard it is to add an 06 style seat into these?

Welcome from Texas.  Did you pinstripe it yourself.  Nice project.  These trucks look great any way you want to do them.

Nitro, your my hero man. I have been planning on doing my 75 just like that. I just stumbled across an 82GMC with a much better body so I'm in the process of pulling the 350 and building it, and it will go into the 82 RatRod style. What type of paint did you use?

so i have been slacking and have forgot the pics but i did get lowered on white walls also. i bought a 260hp motor going in this weekend. i was gonna order the exhaust off this site but saw jegs has it right down the street so i can get it quicker. i was wondering how many people have used this system and hows the kit? i will get pics for sure this weekend as we do the swap.
