Hey :wave: I am from KC and I have an 86 C30 that is currently devouring my time and bank account. I have had ALOT of Chevys but my C30 is my favorite. I look forward to meeting and talking with everyone. :favorites13:

Yeah Old77 I saw your post while looking for parts for my mobile money pit lol. I am out in Olathe. Here are a couple pics, I'll try to get some more recent ones up this weekend. The first one is one is soon after I got it. It was a tow truck and the photo is after we took the tow unit out. The second and third photos are when it got a new(ish) front clip as the front and core support were smashed when I got it. The last photo is the most recent one I could find. The grill was rusted and I prefer the look of the stock grill (I painted it) and I added a cowl hood and new bumper. Although I have since put a different front bumper on it:

Thanks! I don't think it would fit, but I've never tried. I keep my bikes in the garage...and what would appear to be my own private little LMC with all the parts laying around :rofl:

:lol: I know what you mean man! While building mine, at one point during the interior build my entire garage was filled with various interior parts and the truck had to sit outside while it waited for the parts to be put in :D

Ha! Yeah my wife thinks I am trying to trick her and build another truck without telling her. I told her not to worry until she see a frame in the back yard.

Thanks! Actually, in the next couple of weeks I am going to put a 6-8 drop on it, remove the wheel sims and powdercoat the wheels, and begin getting it ready for bodywork. But it is getting nice out and I need to adjust the valves on the R1 for riding season (which of course includes removing the head and individually adjusting the cams) so......the dually might have to wait it's turn BUT I did get my GSX-R tuned up and ready to go yesterday so the line is getting shorter :High 5:

Sounds like good plan on the truck !!! :waytogo:

As far as the wife, I think I'd have to turn that around on her and throw on the old guilt trip. "Huh, you just don't trust me, I'm crushed, what makes you think I'd sneak... and do something like build a truck behind your back" :roflbow:

How does a guy build a truck without his wife knowing??? :crazy: :High 5::High 5::High 5:

Hmm...maybe I'll try that. Between the C10 and C30 as I replace parts I have a tendency to hold on to the old ones and suddenly there is a hood, tailgate, doors, bumpers, wheels, front clip, core supports, lights, motor, lol All I really need is a rolling cab and frame and I could put most of one together :) Actually now that I think about it...maybe she is on to something...:roflbow:
