1986 C-10 Custom Deluxe Short Bed
« on: January 06, 2008, 05:15:01 pm »
Well, I'm not sure how often I'll be updating this thread, as money isn't exactly flowing in for me to be able to do everything I want to do.  But, here are the "Before" pics, along with a photoshop of what my plans are for her.

I love my pickup.  I've been waiting a long time (about 15 years) to get one of these, and now it is mine.

Thanks - and I'm always open to suggestions.  I've never really messed with a 4-wheel vehicle before.  I've built several custom motorcycles, so wiring/fabrication isn't totally foreign to me.

It looks like you have a good solid truck to start with. Mine was almost junk when I started. Good luck!

No the 572 won't trash it, It will handle the power but you won't be going very fast on the street/strip with a foot of travel between gears.
