I agree that it looks pretty good but the finger prints by the light housing kind of distracted me for a little bit. Better do something about those.;)

Made a deal in an 87 C10 for a project. Plans are for a full custom frame, bodied, bagged with an LS swap. First I’ll need to get it into my backyard which won’t be easy, I’ll need to do a pass-thru in my garage with a second overhead door out the back. This will be a long project. Trucks in pretty decent shape very tiny amount of rust in the door jambs up high. Rockers and floor pans are all good. The 350 has about 11k on it and I’m selling that to another neighbor for $300 because he found the truck for me. The guy wanted $1500 but I made a deal for $1000 so it will cost me $700 after I sell the engine.

It’s ok. The seat is a seat and the dash isn’t all dented up. It doesn’t matter to me anyway. All I’m gonna use is the cab, bed, fenders and doors. Everything else is going. I’ll start with a new frame. I’m gonna build the motor myself. Then the suspension and air management system, fuel cell, brakes, wiring, install the motor, and then tub the cab, bed and fenders. Install the cab and fenders, have someone paint everything then install the bed. I have no time frame and the $$$ stuff will have to wait for 8-10 months so it will be a slow start. I’ll start a build thread when I actually start on it. Right now it’s just a pile of parts waiting to take shape.
