Over/10 (C10)
Hey Everyone,
For our first build log we wanted to start off with something big. This is Matt Overton's C10. This truck came to us for a full teardown and rebuild. It was a california car before its life here with us. The truck had very little rust and was all in all a really good starting point. The end goal for this build is a truck to drive around town with plenty of power under the hood provided by the LS3. We are going to give daily updates about what is going on with this build so stay tuned.
First things first, the tear down. We started tearing this apart to get the frame out from under it to start preparing it for powder coating. The body was off to start body work.

Disassembly of the truck continues. The further along we go with taking this truck apart the more we notice things that are not quite right. The truck was used as a work truck for a good part of its life in california and the body of this truck shows it. After coming back from blast we started to see just how much this truck was used and the bed was the worst part. Filler was piled high in some areas while others where not repaired correctly years ago. Now on to the fun part, body work.
Stay tuned for more updates!!

Mock-up continues on the truck, After this is done it time to get it in the paint booth to get some primer surfacer on it. The customer decided that he wanted to weld the tailgate solid on this build and I have to say it's looking great. The frame is off getting powder coated with a silver vein finish. After it comes back, assembly will begin on the frame to get it ready to the body to sit back down on.
Stay tuned for more update

So what's the suspension going to be on the truck? Looks like its a 4-link with bags? Is that staying the same?

Now the fun begins! The frame coming back from powder coat the reassembly of the frame can begin. The frame was powder coated in a amazing looking silver vein powder coat. We got a new Moser 12 bolt under the rear end. To power this beast is a stock LS3 crate engine straight from GM. This is backed up to 4L70. This combo should give this truck plenty of power to send this truck rocketing down the road. Keeping all the power in check is matching sets of Wilwood 6-piston brake kits. These provided amazing function and will look great behind the Billet wheels Matt has selected for the build more on that soon! We went with a full custom exhaust for the truck to give a great sound. We decided to go for dual spintech exhaust with 2.5" piping in and out.
Stay tuned for more!

Pulling the cab out of the booth and the paint looks amazing. We couldn't be happier with it. The underside of the cab is coated in raptor liner. This is a durable coat to help protect the underside of the cab from any rust. The firewall is painted in a color that will really make the engine bay of this truck stand out. The exact formula for this color is our little secret . The pictures of the paint do not do the car the justice it deserves and once the wet sanding and buffing are complete this will be even more true. We are getting close to getting everything in the final home stretch of this project.
Stay tuned for more updates

Matts truck is really coming along with only very small things needed to be finished before this beast hits the road. The project is still being held a close secret but i was able to pull one more sneak peak out before the boss caught me.
