My 1980 c10 silverado
« on: January 13, 2012, 12:58:13 pm »
I've worked 40 long long hours a week while still in high school to buy this amazing truck to rebuild so far I've added the bed rails, mirrors, and changed out all 4 ball joints I've got more on order and ill try to  upload more pics when I get out of class. Hope you all like it. (I just recently waxed and polished it)

Real clean truck. Keep up on it and it will stay that way for a long time. Any other plans for it in the future?

     Nice looking two-tone.  Keep on plugging away and pretty soon you will have it done.

Thanks I keep it waxed and very clean.  I use this cherry wax and when I'm done its as smooth as glass.
