Old77's '77 C-10 Build Thread (Pic heavy!!!)

[Old77]

I wish I had the time/skills/place to do something like this.

Thanks, man. It started off in a one car garage It finished up in a 2 car garage and the wife sick of all the dirt, dust and grime everywhere She was glad to see it where it's at now. It'll have it's own shop when I do it again at some point

This pic below is a comparison of my grandpa's truck and what I've built. That '79 is what started my obsession with squares when i was a kid. I built my truck as kind of an 'in memory' type deal but I hadn't seen a pic of my Grandpa's truck in years. So that mirrors, grill, and all that is all just a coincidence and I went with what my gut told me to do. Obviously, I remembered it was blue so I picked out a blue that I liked and I remembered it was a long bed and all that stuff but not the intricate details. Well then, about a year ago I stumbled upon this pic and was blown away. That's when I decided I had to have the white steelies. I also have a set of hubcaps that I may throw on it from time to time but here she is and I love it!!

That's cool you found the pic of his old truck and I understand the reason behind the steelies, but I loved your wheels before the steelies... I still love what you did with the truck!
