1 Attachment(s)
I purchased a 68 c10 friday that I plan on doing a frame off. it is a little rough around the edges but I plan on changing from the farm truck it was used for into a rolling gem;)
it has a 305 in it currently:crazy: which will be sold and replaced with undecided yet motor :lol: |
Re: 68 project

ok I will give you more then one pic cause I have been running the roads of NC all day the first thing I brought home was a fleetside shortbed with the original paint still on it needs the wood floor replaced which I am a woodworker by trade so I am going to use cypress on the floor plus do some custom woodworking for the front of the bed :chevy:
Second I picked up a cab 15 minutes down the road in very good condition needs rockers and a little touch of care here and there but overall great for an original cab you all can take a guess at what I paid for each piece so I can see if I got a good deal or not:lol: The cab is getting dropped off tomorrow at my buddys body shop. He does frame off restorations and has an awesome talent |

the guy also gave me a dolly he had made to wheel the bed around which is very nice to have.
and also me and the wife got the stepside removed today as soon as I sell the motor we will be removing the cab and front clip so the frame can get sent to the sandblaster;) |
Re: 68 project
I don't know what you paid for that bed but it looks great! BTW welcome from TX and good luck with the build!
|
Re: 68 project
that is a nice looking project, i wish i could drive around the backroads here and find parts like that, but not here, everything is trashed.
|
Re: 68 project
I gave 500 for the bed it has one rust hole a little bigger then a nickel behind the drivers side wheelwell :metal: the cab I gave 400 for it and it needs rockers and cab mounts :chevy:

well we have made some more progress this past weekend and today, also picked me up two motors a 68 327 and an older 283 going to be building the 327 for this project :chevy:
and the last one is the wife, she loves to work on the truck with me and even goes to help pickup parts I get for it :metal: |
Re: 68 project
project kind of went idle on me for awhile but getting fired back up on it again. Got everything now to convert it to 5 lug, and have found many other parts to get this project back on the go:metal:

well starting the reassembly of my project 68,, been collecting parts for the last year ,, tired of seeing it in pieces,, got the frame all painted and the new crossmember mounted, now to get the suspension mounted so I can get it a rolling frame once again then the motor rebuild will start, as that will be my next goal to get the motor and transmission set into the frame ;)

Re: 68 project
sweet so are you going to make it a 67 or a 68 also was it a custom or cst
|
Re: 68 project
yes it is a custom, I guess it will always be a 68 seeing that is what it is titled as, just didnt wnt the marker lights, actually been thinking about putting 68 charger marker lights on the sides..

Re: 68 project
Are you going back 68? I have an excellent pair of 68 fenders I'd be willing to trade if those are decent 67's
