Re: Uber Cool's 1963 C10 LWB Fleetside in England

Thanks for the welcome, first time I've had a decent look around the truck since xmas. The chassis is very good, so chuffed with that. Bit of rot in the floor and cills. The list of missing parts is currently the following.

front grill and headlights
rear lights
all interior switches and ignition barrel
radiator
exhaust and inlet manifolds
carb
dynamo
propshaft
front screen cracked
brake master cylinder full of water !!!



The only one that is bothering me is the front screen, when the time comes think that will be a big cost getting one shipped to UK and someone to fit. But that can wait a while.

I haven't yet planned out what I want to do with the truck, still hatching a plan. Was toying with the idea of air bags, but think I'll stick to old school springs for now. Was thinking about ratty paint job and white wall, but then I've got that with my Apache, so no point building another the same

The main thing is I'm not planning a quick job on this as I'm happy that the Apache is road legal so I can get my fix driving this. Most other projects I've had a vision of what I've wanted early on and built it, think this ones gong to evolve over time.
