What was wrong with the previous one...cracks?

[ramman434]

I do that somewhat. When I get bored, I just start pulling shit out so I know where everything goes and is plugged up.

[cookmaster30]

yeah it did have some crack, but i just wanted to try and do something more custom. i am going to try and get the gauge placement figured out today the it'll be back to sanding and bondoing again

[cookmaster30]

i got the gauges cut out. starting to look better

[cookmaster30]

[Abdo]

Great job! Looks amazing in the truck!

[tigersharkdude]

looks good! Since youve done once, you will redo it and make it better.

[carfreak0]

looks killer man now the out side lol

[cookmaster30]

the outside is gonna be done thru the winter when i can tear it down and do it all at once. i dont know what came over me and made me do the dash

[03Fairlady]

good job. I'm not an orange fan, but awesome work!

[cookmaster30]

thanks. let me know next time you guys come out maybe i can come out and hang out with you guys

[Jankenshank]

how many hours in that thing?

[carfreak0]

it still looks killer when i got bored on my old truck i just redid the inside like 4 times and it was never low enough when i sold it i had the frame 2 inches off the ground, cant wait to see it when you do the out side

[Race_Breed_2.0]

looks good. Now sell me ur truck

[cookmaster30]

looks good. Now sell me ur truck


before i did the dash i would have thought about it.

as far as time i didn't keep track. i probably would cry. lol i have spent about 2 or 3 weeks off and on working on it

[Race_Breed_2.0]

i just love s dimes all years and urs is pretty clean

[cookmaster30]

thanks man. it needs some body work. i plan on tearing everything apart this winter and rebuilding the motor and doing all the body work. then i will finish the interior

[Calmoc9]

s-10 are timeless. good work. wish the one i had wasn't so damn rusty



scott

[cookmaster30]

dont worry so does mine. the rockers and cab corners are shot

[Calmoc9]

what engine do you have, or which one are you going to put back in?

scott

[cookmaster30]

it has a 355 in it now. in the spring it will hopefully have a 355 with spray, a 355 with a blower, or a 383

[Calmoc9]

vote for blower. how do you use the truck? and were the stock gauges mech or electric?


scott

[cookmaster30]

thats my vote too, we will have to see how money works out. the gauges were electric
