1984 c10 swb
« on: November 23, 2010, 08:37:03 pm »
HI everyone Id like to take the time to introduce myself and my ride. My name is Marc G from Ontario Canada im 19 years old and have been on this great forum for about to years now. Now about my ride I bought this truck with 16000km on it when I was 17 it was a total rust bucket doe to canadian winters. I did a lot of first time bodywork to the truck over the winter and drove it the next summer as a daily driver It was also my prom truck :) as you see it in the first pic flat black. In about sept my flex plate let go so I tore everything down to the frame and gave it the resto it deserved. sandblasted the frame and painted shaved the fire wall freshened up the 305 with paint and a lopy cam rebuilt the quadrajet. I lowered the truck 2.5 inches in the front and 4 inches in the back. made my own cowle hood as well. rims are 15x11 aluminum eagle alloys wrapped all the way around in 275x65x15 BFG radial ta.Inside the truck got freashened up also like new installed autometer gauges, rebal flag headliner and i tinted the windows. I then painted the truck myself Im very proud of my girl aka ELVIRA ;D the truck has won several best in class truck awards thanks for reading and enjoy

Very, very nice looking truck, something to be proud of at your age being so young and doing all the work yourself. Go Hab'S.

I like the blue, but that flat black looks killer.

Got any pictures of the headliner? I was looking at doing something like that with a flag.

Nice work, and I like the blue no matter who came up with it.  Anyone else find it odd that Canadians do the rebel flag thing?  Its north of the North ;D
