Tavenner13's "Project Huevos"
ive been meaning to start an "official" build thread to keep track of the progress of my '67 C10 so here goes. i like to be short and sweet so ill start from the beginning:
i found the truck back on the 14th of march. it was on ebay and i saw it wasnt too far away so i drove up to the little town it was located in and immediately fell in love with it. i bought the truck three days later after it didnt meet its reserve price and drove it 2 1/2 hours home. here's a few shots the PO used in the ebay auction: http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/.../241042969.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/.../241042973.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/.../241042991.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/.../241043008.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/.../241043019.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/.../241042967.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL83/.../241043009.jpg |

Looks like a good solid truck to start with. Good luck with it!

Re: Tavenner13's "Project Juevos"
the carb was junk and the starter laid over on me one night after work so i installed a demon 850, new high torque mini-starter, billet distributor, and high volume fuel pump.

Re: Tavenner13's "Project Huevos"
got the truck out on the road today and had a mini-burnout conest with matt (spray-bomb). mine was way darker but his was about 40 feet longer so i guess we'll call it a draw... we got them both on tape so we'll post a poll and yall can tell us who won :cool: ANYWAYS still looking to get the truck in the shop so i can have 3rd gear back lol
