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 actually made that from 4x4 timber and just harbor freight casters. Worked perfect for my application. I did all my purchases for the truck around 2006-2008 for the parts. Thanks for the compliment on the paint. I actually got burnt out on the truck, I had a guy that knew what he was doing and took 3500 of my money and made a complete mess of the truck. He went thru a gallon of base on just the cab. I told him you need a black sealer to put on the truck 1st before you apply the color. Well to make a long story short, I got the parts back and 3500.00 less and I block sanded the entire truck in a month. 1 weekend I spent 14 hours 1 day painting this truck in pieces. .

thanks
pat

Welcome from Texas nice lookin truck! Blue is my favorite color! Awesome paint job. Just had another guy on here trying out his hand at painting and finding out how hard it really is to do a good job. It takes a lot of practice and patience but, you've done a great job.
