[mikeith]

well i got some work done this weekend and gonna finish it up tonight. i bedlined the floor, back of the cab and the lower firewall. put in my dash and my gauges. got the front end back together and aligned. put in my headliner and pillars... heres some pics of everything

[yttaf]

WOW that looks great!!! So much for the roll pan I was gonna get.... I want that style rear bumper now!!!

[red4wd]

The wheels look great...got a question though why is the speedo at 55?

[Captkaos]

Looking good!

[FlatBlack77]

nice

how did you get your gauges red? I'm jealous of your factory gauges I dont know what to do about the retarded lookin dummy lights in my dash they don't even work...not that i want them to

[VileZambonie]

Looks good. Are you going to put mirrors on it? What is your plan for paint?

[mikeith]

i took the picture before i hooked the tv cable back up lol!

as for mirrors... shavin em along w/ the handles when i do my one piece window kit.... hey val you still got a driver door? i need one pretty bad....

i plan on turnin the truck over to jason hill next time he has time for a major project and from the way things are lookin it will be in the fall and will take him a couple months... the dash will be the ONLY stock looking part of the interior, gonna run a 88-91 suburban grill setup just like the one on red rocker and i was thinkin a red and charcoal two tone w/ some nice but not too wild splitin the colors up... i'm gonna let jason come up with something... i trust him. i'm gonna smooth out the rear bumper and shave the tail lights but i cant decide if i wanna keep my bumper or a go with roll pan out back.... as far as the front bumper he's gonna do one like he just did on colby's red and black truck (which i was wondering how it would look if we went w/ that same design on the rear bumper...

whitegauges.net .... they have ALOT of colors to choose from pretty easy to install too... make sure you use a blowerdryer when ur puttin em on too its makes em form fit ALOT better

Man, that truck is KEWL! You are doing a great job. Personally, I like the rear bumper AND the protection it offers for those parking lot uh-oh's. Nice to see others from TX. I'm from Longview in East Texas. I hope to get pics of my 82 C10 posted soon..................Keep up the good work!

[Mr79C10]

WOW dude.. looks real sweet, and the red guages really set that dash off!
 What type of paint did you use?
Nice wheel selection!!

[cruppert77]

very cool looking. good work

[mikeith]

its at a shop now getting a new cam, NICELY built up 700r4 tranny and 4:11's w/ posi.... i wanted to go with 3:73's but he said having 29.8" tall rear tires a 4:11 would measure out to around 3:80 overall. i'm goni to finish the interior soon as i get the truck back and post pictures!

[strkr98]

what kind of motor do you have?

[mikeith]

350 w/ milled vortec heads (which limits me on my cam caus of the beehive valve springs)... i've thought about going bigger but since i'm just buildin a show truck i'm going to keep that and pretty it up. i thought about going with multiport injection but its so dang expensive JUST for an intake. once i get this one finished i'm going to buy another one to make into a pretty nice driver... but i cant decide if i want to build a crew cab as the driver or another single cab. you ever have any luck gettin yours sold?

My wife doesn't want me to try very hard.  I am making a list of things to buy and going to start redoing a few things.  I have had a guy ask for pics but I haven't had a chance to download and send.  What kind of mileage or you getting?
