Whats the S-10 look like... we could make a trade.... though it might be a far piece to drive on a bare spring seat... or my 5-Gallon bucket seats...

 

[stretch]

its an alright s-10. 1995, 2WD, 4.3 vortec engine, no AC(only needs a recharge) needs good amount of bodywork, but if we could trade at the end of summer it should be close to done with bodywork. oh and its purple. :lol: would you really trade your old truck?

 

[garagegoon]

Ya.... But this thing aint no spring chicken... Needs alot of werk... Has normal rust for Kansas... I only say that because up there I find trucks that are 5 years old with more rust than my old beast.... 1500.00 buys this one... 8)

 

[stretch]

if i do the bodywork on mine, wanna consider it even?

 

[garagegoon]

Show me what she looks like...

 

[stretch]

well, here she is. she aint the prettiest but definitly the trustiest ride in the school parking lot.

 

[garagegoon]

Think I may just hang on to the ol 66... 8)

 

[stretch]

yeah i figured that my truck wouldnt be sufficent. but what if i did the body work and painted it up like i planned? and swapped the wheels out for black steelies with skinny whitewalls?

 

[garagegoon]

Depending on the work.... It might surpass what my truck is worth

 

[stretch]

haha well i planned to just bring the body back to stock, no more rust and minimal dents(its got quite a few small dents), it would be minus all the plastic tags of course. for color i was thinking something like this

this

or this

i was also thinking a low buck drop, with 4" blocks in the back, or 2" springs and 2" blocks; and 2" spindles with 1" springs in the front, or just get spindles and torch the springs ive got. if i could see your whole truck maybe it would be an even trade.
for wheels exactly it would be monte carlo 14" steelies, gloss black, with chrome lugs, wrapped in firestone skinny whites.

Sorry, but I just couldn't resist;

Actually, I like both the truck and the bike, had a 66 3/4 ton myself. That truck has the most nauseating color ever! I love it!

Its all good... I get a bunch of crap for it.... That thing has Oxide primer from the 80's on it... Kustom Patina...It will end up being a nice shade of off white with a heavy kandy flake roof done in the color of the wheels... But for now it just sits in a coat of dust... and make good back drops for my bikes...

Great build Garagegoon! I love the way this bike looks. Are those Schwinn rims? What size tires are you using?

Re: Black & Mild

The placement of seat.... I decided that I might want to put a toolbag behind the seat. My 6 year old daughter having fun with purple spray paint before painting her car......

Seat pad after removal of white.... I think we can expect to see alot of red pinstriping to set off the red in the seat.

What did you use to remove the white paint from the seat?
