We sit down and talk to the Canadian Kid, Del Uschenko - otherwise known as Delmo.

Del tells us who his early influence were and how he got into wrenching and customizing cars and trucks. 

Del started early, his first two trucks were C10's - one a 70's Squarebody and the second a 1963 C10. No wonder him and Dino get along so well.

Before Del moved to the States he was wrenching and running his own Hot Rod shop in Canada. He sold that after building some big time cars and headed South. 

Del tells us that Ola and him sold their houses, along with the shop and loaded up a U-haul and a 1961 Ford Uni-Body and headed South. He knew California had a bitchin car scene so that was the destination.

Eventually they ended up in Burbank. From there, Ola, a Nurse found work at the local hospital and Del was going to work on cars. 

Before opening up his own shop Del worked at the famous Hollywood Hot Rods, although not landing the job on the first try!! You'll have to listen, to hear the rest of that story. 

While at Hollywood Hot Rods, Del built a KILLER 1965 C10, that was laid out with all the right touches. He created a build thread on the 1967-72 truck forum and the thing took off from there. 

This build put Del on the map in the C10 world and from there a Star was born. 

Del and I talk about how far the C10 Nation has come since then. It has become a movement of sorts, from SEMA this year to Dino's Git Down, the C10 Community is thriving and the builds are just getting better.

Delmo has built plenty more since the "65 C10" and he has 9 in the shop as of this interview.

Del being Del!! Great guy, just doing his thing. We we're glad he is doing his thing, and bringing his style to the C10 Nation, because we love it.

Thanks Del.
