Hey all and thanks for accepting me.

I got a 1980 c10 step side resto mod I been building on and off since 2006. It started as a bare cab and a frame. It needs some odds and ends and it should be roadworthy in no time..

Thanks
Pat

Thank you for the compliments, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of all of your great trucks..

thanks
pat

p.s. here is a lil info about the truck. Its got a 1985 Chevrolet 350, th 400, with a 12 bolt 3.73 rearend. Its got rear disc brakes from a SS impala, the entire truck was built from the ground up. I replaced every single part on that body, the only thing that is original from the 1980 truck is the grille. I scoured EBAY for everything I could find NOS for it. It is lowered 4.5 inches in the front and 6 inches in the rear. Its got a Belle Tech C notch kit in the rear, and DJM lowering spindles and springs in the front. The truck sports LED taillights and HID headlights. Aluminum radiator with dual fans. The wheels are from Coys, there 18s in the front and 20s in the rear. The paint, I painted it myself its martin senour base clear, the color is iris blue metallic. But that's really it, I`ll see if I can upload some pics of the interior and underside and the engine compartment.

Here is a video of the cab when I was building it.

I typically don't care for the cowl hoods on the earlier squares like mine and yours but this one looks great! Welcome from Ky!
