And started messing with some tail light surround ideas... Not sure if I like em yet.

So I busted out the lingerie last night and did a little art project. It actually turned out kinda cool..

So cool.

After taking the fattie for its first rip this season I put the tail lights together and hung one on for s***s. Kinda need the fender on there to see what it really looks like..

I do need to extend the wiring so the stupid plug isn't dangling there..

Funny how a lot of us have similar interests.

Love this thread.

I bagged and chopped a long bed into a short bed years ago. And I still have the yellow bagged c30 dually. It was a dump truck I bough for a few jobs during the ‘vid.

I sold the green c30 with factory flat bed to my boss.

Ooooh that short long bed sits so damn nice man! Very cool.

Funny story, my buddy Mike who coincidentally was the one who helped me go get my c10 had one like your c30 but a gmc in orange. The cab had the coolest patina but it had all the weird heavy duty stuff underneath lol.

Coincidentally coincidentally, I used to see his orange gmc sitting at an old gas station on the way to Manitoulin Island whenever I went and loved it. I'll try and dig up a Pic.

I knew I saved a few pics! Badass truck with potential but he ended up selling it on.

C30s are awesome. That gmc nose is timeless!

Last photobomb!

The green one was more modern underneath with factory disc brakes and such. The yellow one I used for a while delivering gravel around the city. The old 292 runs good though. Up to about 47 mph.

My son and I were just having fun and experimenting with airbags. Don’t had many pics of the process. It was just something to do. It can fit a stock shortbed now.

Chevrolet had nothing to do with that “computer” placement. They didn’t exist in 68’.

Um, yeah if you got the poverty pack, my Brougham trim level came with 2 computers and Corinthian leather bro.

Got the interior stripped, floor has a bunch of new steel in it. Prepped it and seam sealed then took a chance and mixed up some 8ish year old Gator Guard liner I had left over from the 40. Kinda excited to see it today..

Also drape matched the carpet but apparently I didn't take any pictures..

It's crazy how much fine dust an old assed carpet collects man. I had it hung in the loft and beat the s*** out of it for a good 15 minutes, it was still coming out..

Drape matched carpets. Few touch ups here and there, and she's mint!
