2000 GMT400 CREW CAB SFA SWAP-The Warden: Fuel leak fixed and awaiting surgery…
- Thread starter GWeakland620
- Start date
The ultimate goal for this truck is tow duty/family camping trips/small offroad adventures.
Boy, we won't recognize it without the mismatching colors.
What will your paint scheme be?
P.S. - I suppose you could replicate the mismatched colors in your new paint scheme... 
Just all white for now.Boy, we won't recognize it without the mismatching colors.

Aren't you just a joker...P.S. - I suppose you could replicate the mismatched colors in your new paint scheme...

Like your mismatched wheels!?
PewpewLike your mismatched wheels!?
I am so much more than "just" a joker. I have at least 3 other talents.
At least...I think I do.

I'll make Greg a deal. If he paints his truck up in the mismatched paint scheme, I'll go through all of the work of leaving my wheels mismatched, and we can start a Club for Mismatched Trucks.
Sounds fair to me, eh?
Since I'm feeling particularly generous today, I'll even let him use my mismatched wheel scheme without charging him royalties or licensing fees. He's so special that he can use my trademark for free.

And you got the mismatched box FTW!
Just kidding with ya....you do good with it!
I bet! That's a lot of air.
Haha glad I'm not the only one it bugs , at first I was like sweet a long bed stepper!!! But then I seen the fenders and was like what a minute ........
I have the correct fenders if you ever want to change them @campfire lol!
Come on man I need some big time no distractions shots. Let's see some glamour poses.
You hidin sumfin boy?

almost all shops max tires out these days for liability coverage as they have no way of knowing what the end user will be doing with them .Well @sweetk30 was dead on. Tire shop had my tires at 85psi
Lowered them down to 45 and things got a lot smoother.
I didnt think them springs were that stiff.
o.k., I'll ask: What's with this notch in the frame? Do you plan on boxing it? Be a great place for salt & what not to enter and start eating the frame from the inside....

Yeah, they probably ran them up to the pressure stamped into the tire.
Meh. I scrapped a nearly rustless (please don't kill me
) 1982 stepside box after scavenging the running boards, bolt strips, and cross members to restore the '67 bed. Those fenders were a grand total of 1" longer than the ones I ended up with, it's not a huge difference now that I have grafted in the newer running boards. I also like the spare tire holder.But my family would kill me if I ever "fixed" that bed. It's a family heirloom that my folks hauled out of Alaska when they were finished with their piece of building the Alyeska Pipeline. 40 years ago. For years it lurked around the farm in trailer form, a bunch of folks are happy that the spirit of the ol' C10 can live on this way. I actually wish I could have saved the running boards, the old style would have been more useful (the brackets under the spare tire were a jerry-can mount, but I can't easily get a jerry can to fit onto the humpy running boards).
It would be a thoroughly epic story if I were go up to Alaska to get a set of "proper" fenders for my Alaska truck bed.
