I got it on the road today. Took it down and aligned it. And went and put a few miles on it. Everything is good so far. Have the normal wind noises from the wingvents but its crazy driving the old truck and having it ride so good.


I've got 3 of these damn shortbeds

 

Got the tail pipes done tonight and a few other things. I've never been a fan of the angled tail pipes but with the hitch hanging down and the leaf spring shackles in the way I couldn't really get the tips up high enough to look good but i don't think not turned out too bad

 

Awesome job! I want a 72-87 C10 with a LS swap badly

 

Thanks man. You can buy this one for the right price.

 

I want a 2WD lol

 

Caleb,

Excellent job man!! I am the guy who was buggin you on facebook. I will definitely be using this as a guide for a swap I am planning. Your truck is bad to the bone!

 

Nastybuzard lead me here! Great work! I want to do the exact same thing but with a long bed!

 

I can't believe that everything lined up perfect with the core support landing on the existing front mounts. Amazing.

 

Yep... I followed too! Nice work!

Any other updates?

Thanks,

Treb

 

Amazing job! Glad to see you got it on the road!

 

Just found this thread... excellent work! Have any updates for us?

 

I didn't realize people were still posting on here. Not really any updates on the truck. Just been driving it. It has about 35k miles on it now. I haven't had any problems out of it at all. It's probably my favorite truck out of all them I have. The only bad thing is the rust. It's been thru a couple Missouri winters now and the salt is eating it up pretty good. It'll have to get a makeover here some time and get all that fixed.

Yeah I'd assume I would be.

 

Caleb,
Great job. Very sharp truck!!!

 

Thanks man. Appreciate it

 

hi was wondering if I could get you to email me the photos of your 2002/1982 build I love the project but I can't see the photos for some reason just want to see how you did it if you don't mind thanks

 

Apparently Ricky has been living under a rock. Photobucket stopped allowing 3rd party hosting like a month or so ago.

The photo's are probably still on Caleb's Photobucket, but you'll have to do a little searching to find them.

Well damn I didn't realize Photobucket did this. Now they want me to upgrade for $399 a year... not gonna happen. Yep all the pics are still on Photobucket.

 

That sucks. I really wanted to see the C10's progress.
