Gorgeous truck. C-10's are exploding in value, especially the short beds. Ignore all haters. You're sitting on a lil' pile of gold.

Not bad, my friend.

Nice! Love a square body
Poserman
Wish I could afford that. There is a decent one for sale here for 25k.

My friend had a truck just like that. Got in an accident, other car was totaled and his truck got a small dent. That's it.

I can hear it just by looking. Smooth

Oh man. My dream truck when I was 14. Dream car was '86 cutlass.
carbon419
Holy shit, a square body on the front page?! Damn, what a good looking truck! I love the short beds with the 5 spokes. Classic badass
Neednoggle
Absolutely beautiful, nice work. I used to have one of these and I still regret selling it.

That's a lot of black paint on old steel, its a bold move cotton, glad it paid off.

Your yard reminds me that I need to get off Imgur...

@OP other than the lowered suspension, very nice. pickups should not be lowered imho.

I'm not a huge fan of the rims but it's still gorgeous. Bought or built?
Bought the stock truck and did all of the work.
SolowMyKidZ
What kind of wheels are those are they US MAGS!?!?

@OP Oh hey its the muscletruck before it became 11703 colors... Does it make the broombroom noises?

I used to have an 84. Had a similar look as yours except navy blue, and rally wheels. Loved that truck.

PO replaced the original 305 with 350. My plan is for an LS motor in the future.

What can it do for a quarter mile, or is it just your car
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
Just... why?
Because I can.
I hate what you did, but I like your answer and the truck is beautiful, so you got my upvote. ????
What do you hate, just the wheels & tires?
GadenKerensky
Is this what Americans call a truck?
Yes.
It's a fancy Ute.
LuckyDirt
What would you call it?
A ute.
Ah, an Aussie. Ok, so in America we call anything with a box bed a truck. A ute (SUV here) is a full cab (i.e. Land Rover). It's a big ute.
A truck is big, bigger than a ute. You want more confusing, ask the UK, trucks and lorries are different things to them.

I never understood lowering trucks but hey, you do you man.
Handles better. But really the main reason is because it looks better.
CarnivorousRabbit
I can understand the handling, but it looks awful... perhaps I'm just used to roads that would kill lowered cars though...
OPs truck definitely looks good. I just never understood lowered trucks. But mine is 4x4 and I actually use it on a regular basis.
prfesser
Yeah, it just seems contrary to the purpose of a truck. But that's me.
Lower deck is easier to load into.
NOINOON
Your problem is assuming everyone drives trough corn fields. Nothing wrong making a truck handle better on paved road if that's all you use.
A lowered 2wd short bed 1/2 ton seems more practical than a jacked up 4x4 long bed crew cab 1 ton diesel. But that's just my opinion.
exenos
Depends on what your doing. City truck? Sure, but try hauling any respectable amount and you'll see why you want the large truck. 1/2
The mass and wheelbase become a huge asset with larger loads.
Well the trucks I just compared are both about worthless for actually hauling anything. But lets take two 1 tons, same cab and bed set up
One 2wd and lowered the other 4x4 and lifted. Now which of those two is better for hauling. My money is on the lowered 2wd. Air bag the rear
2WD trucks in general are like putting V6's in pony cars....why? but some look good when
right...like OP's
2wd is cheaper to get into and maintain. Also all other things being equal the 2wd will usually have a higher payload and towing capacity
And will ride and handle better. So the real question would be unless you need 4wd for regular snow or off road work why spend more for less
These chevy's just beg to be slammed. Dodges on the other hand are made to be jacked sky high.
RandyReady
Why?
LordPuck
Asking the really important questions.
:) Trying to understand why a Chevy "begs to be slammed"
tagiau
I took it as chevys don't look too horrible lowered, but lowering a dodge dakota, is like putting 22s on a cutlass.
The body lines on these, and most generations of Chevy trucks, look good dropped or lifted. Most Ford and Dodge trucks look good lifted but
Not lowered.
Of course this is all personal preference
