My S10 Project:

[ArtosDracon]

For clarification, my definition of trugly is something that would be considered either sacriledge, heresy or stupid on a car, but passes the sniff test on a truck just fine. Like the guy who mounted a dodge magnum front end on a dakota, I thought it looked nice.

[scuda001]

I'm still not happy with the front end, so I enlisted the help of Bob Thrash for an idea or two:

Like the sketch. I'm in the same boat...kinda. I've tried to come up with something different on the front but..well not a lot of choices. I'm looking forward to see how this goes.

Bob Thrash has been really killing it on some of these ideas. I've decided to go with this front end. It's a perfect representation of a 67 C10 with the 2012 touch of technology.

Wheel design:


Paint Scheme:


"First draft of my 2 tone idea ,what im thinking is the early C10 trucks had a beltline trim that had Woodgrain thru the center on Deluxe models ,we could airbrush this on ,the upper and lower rocker color would be a Walnut pearl color and the body sides and tailgate area would be a lighter Beige pearl. I've always been a fan of painted wheel centers so they too shall be painted in a Satin Bronze color, separating the top and side colors would be a bold Orange stripe that wraps around the whole truck ,mirrors are upper body color too." - Bob Thrash

Okay ladies, If you're not my friend on FB, here is what's been going on:

So much detail going into this truck, should be killer when done.

looks awesome - can't wait to see it closer to being done

if the real thing comes close to the drawings, you'll be giving the Syborg TT a run for the money!

see there is proof that I am not the only goofball out there.

Marty has a finished truck! I have a partial frame and a lot of drawings. I'm not even on his level yet guys. It's a progression thing, it's not like I'm out to top a certain truck. Imagine the next quality of truck that tops Syborg, and it keeps going and going!

Not to worry you are going to be building the next baddest s10 on the planet. I truely hope you take it to the next level and look forward to watching your build.

[scuda001]

I honestly hope every happens, because design wise, this s10 actually doesn't look like anything out there

[Just_Robert]

I'm starting the Drivetrain chapter this month. Robbie at Pacific Coast Customs will handle it. We're gonna start on the ITB setup. He's gonna spend a lot of time making this setup perfect, because IMO, it could be the coolest part of the build.

some pretty incredible work going into your truck,
that intake is a work of art

[CarQz17]

Man I'm right in Dallas, can't wait to see this thing on the road. Any updates?

What do you think about it now?

Well it looks like this truck may pass up Syborg.

Pretty Awesome !!!!!

What ever happened to this project?

[Todd in Vancouver]

This is not great fab work it is pure art done with metal and at a level most of us can only dream about. I can honestly say I could never concieve even thinking up this kind of work. Mad talent to even think it up let alone pull off building this. Beyond Cool
