Retro S10 pics

rooster52478 · 07-13-2008, 05:15 PM

Here is a couple pics of my truck since I finally cleaned it up some. First shots with any of my vehicles together. They are hardly ever all together in the same place at the same time. Sometime I want to get all three together for pics. Anyway.....

InfamousMini · 07-13-2008, 05:28 PM

What kind of wheels are those?

rooster52478 · 07-13-2008, 05:34 PM

Cragar Smoothies

Innis · 07-13-2008, 05:50 PM

looks good man!

lowcherrydime · 07-13-2008, 06:35 PM

i'm diggin it.

rooster52478 · 07-13-2008, 09:33 PM

Thanks. It's been a long time coming to get the thing bagged. The front doesn't lay out fully because I'm hitting on the firewall and heater box. I've got more stuff in the works to go with the "traditional" theme. And I need to fix the dent above the gas filler door. It pisses me off seeing it everyday.

slvrs10 · 07-13-2008, 10:32 PM

I love the retro look. You're well on the right track.

BadasTazMan · 07-13-2008, 10:58 PM

Love those chrome reverse rims!!

JMew03 · 07-13-2008, 11:10 PM

not my style but your doing a good job

OneLowSdime · 07-13-2008, 11:12 PM

that looks badass

Criticalbeatdown95s · 07-13-2008, 11:20 PM

Looks good...and above your gas lid is already pre dented so when you shave the lid, you wont have to worry about warpage so much

krayzkajun · 07-13-2008, 11:23 PM

love the wheels!

s10fan2000 · 07-13-2008, 11:39 PM

that shit looks great man. awesome with the white on white.

rooster52478 · 07-14-2008, 08:24 PM

What sucks is that I can't drive it yet. My tags expired while it was getting bagged. Now it's back together and I've got to do all the pain in the ass DMV stuff. Inspection would probably be a bitch but I've got the hookup for that.

slmmedxtrme03 · 07-16-2008, 08:08 PM

looks real good.

lowcaprice · 07-16-2008, 10:55 PM

are those 15's or 16's? and what size and brand tire are you running...im loving that. it looks great!

rooster52478 · 07-16-2008, 11:10 PM

15 X 8 Cragar Smoothies. The tires are Gateway 205/75/15. They are actually some NOS tires that are pretty old. I pretty much built the truck around those tires after I found them in the back room at my parents tire shop. When I pulled them out they were NASTY. The blue stuff that protects the white wall had soaked in and turned hard. I had to DA the whole sidewall and now they look brand new again.

Also, thanks for all the good comments.

rooster52478 · 07-16-2008, 11:19 PM

Here's a little more info on the truck. It's the O'Reilly special. Base model with a bench seat, rubber floor, no power windows/locks. Had A/C but no more which sucks. 4.3 V6 with auto trans.. It's exactly what I wanted and was actually really hard to find. The base model fits the stripped down style I like.

I've got a chrome grill and new bumper/valance on the way. Also have a peep mirror to install after I pull the stock mirrors. Shaving the tail lights and putting in '39 Ford blue dot tail lights when I get the chance.

lowcaprice · 07-16-2008, 11:26 PM

ya i have a black stepside sonoma....i was thinkin about these wheels. but the black wheel with the chrome smootie cap and then some 2 inch white walls. i wonder how it would look. ive got 20's on it now. but i think some 15's would look mean haha

rooster52478 · 07-16-2008, 11:39 PM

I've got some black steel wheels with chrome bullet caps to swap out for the winter time. I'm all about the 15's because I just roll the big ass tires. LOL

rooster52478 · 07-26-2008, 08:38 PM

Here's a couple pics from Show Me Showdown this weekend. I've got my new chrome grill and bumper on and new mirror with fillers. It was the first show I've actually entered a vehicle. It was a hot SOB.

Back_N_Black · 07-28-2008, 07:33 PM

good lookin truck

rooster52478 · 08-07-2008, 12:03 AM

Here is some photos as of 8/6/08. I didn't like the way my tank and valves were set up so I was going to redo them. One thing led to another and now I have all new valves ordered.

I also got my tailgate redone and in white sealer as well as the dent above my gas door.

tolowinorlando · 08-07-2008, 12:11 AM

HofinaterSS · 08-07-2008, 11:19 PM

I would have to disagree. Wide whites look good when the steelies are painted to match the truck color like yours.

His truck is white with chrome steelies so I think the whites are just the perfect thickness for this application.
