'83 SWB Scottsdale....In the making...

[yellasldrboy_04]

New to the forum as well as new to owning a C10 platform truck.  But I have alot of plans for it now that I have one.  Been into the auto customizations world for quite a spell and now I have a new project.

Here you go.....more to come

[camdenoilchange]

looks like you got a solid truck to start with. what plans do you have for it?

[team39763]

I like those little mirrors.  Did they come like that or did you add them?  All the ones I've seen in my town have had the big donkey mirrors(including mine).

[Fordeatinz71]

those are factory mirrors...they were the "sport" mirrors back then i believe...

[redneck81]

love the paint
nice truck

[yellasldrboy_04]

Yes those are the og mirrors....heard them called "sport mirrors"

Thanks for the looks and as far as plans............ maybe a 2/4 drop, billet grill, chrome headlight bezels, flowmaster exhaust (completed), and Im still in the air about the paint scheme maybe just repaint it back RED....What do you guys think?

[camdenoilchange]

sounds good, i'd invest in some wheels as well if you are going to drop it.

[yellasldrboy_04]

Oh yes, I already have the wheels w/ tires in my garage right now....

here's a teaser...

[camdenoilchange]

good call on the wheels. i couldn't see, are those 265/35/22 tires? get them on and post pics!!!!

[yellasldrboy_04]

Yep.....265s

But Im not going to put them on til it gets painted and the interior completed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you guys think about blacking out the grille and headlight bezels??

Im going to paint the truck to match my '06 Charger, which is Dodge's Bright Silver, and I was thinking that the blacked out front may look real smooth and rather stealth.

--Even thought of getting a billet grille and painting it a black chrome or something rather than the gloss black......

All input is welcome and pls post some pics if you have any of some BLACKED OUT fronts

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks in advance

Silver like this below:


And yes this is mine

[choptop]

I think monochroming it (Everything one color) like the Charger would look better.

[dunedigger]

Nice looking truck

[static22]

If you do the front black it may end up looking like there is a hole (missing grille, etc.). I personally like the a clean smooth monochrome look or a two tone, depends on the colors being used. Just my opinion

[camdenoilchange]

i think the color would be good on it. i want to paint mine flat black, silver, or colormatch it to my new truck. can't decide. what do think about painting it the color of my 08?

[yellasldrboy_04]

You mean "YOU" painting your c10 the color of your 08 pickup???  I like that color also & think it would look real sharp w/ the chrome accents that are on c10s.

Now Im almost certain Im going to color match it to my charger but Im still in the air on the grille options


So the future for my truck will be:
-
'06 Dodge Bright Silver paint w/ chrome strip and keeping all chrome accents

-Black interior consisting of leather and possible grey ostrich or alligator accents ( like suede but did that in my donk <75 caprice> and dont want to do that again)

-22 inch Dubs (revealing later on)
simple a/v system


....------->Thought of putting a single wide black stripe following str8 back over the hood & roof....whatcha think???
