Frankentruck

Today I finally decided to start a build thread for my 1963 C10 named Frankentruck. Frankentruck was purchased as a father/son project truck back on July 4th, 2015 out of Jasper, GA. When we bought it, the truck had been off the road since 2004, according to the old license plate, and the engine did not run. Here's a few pictures from when I first got the truck home. The seat belts are from a Cadillac, but I don't know what year. The hubcaps were off a 65 Biscayne I believe, and the driver's door had been replaced. The entire bed had also been replaced by the PO after the truck had been rear ended at some point in it's life. The original color is code 505. Some day I hope to be able to return the truck to the original green, but a lot of rust repair needs to be done before that could happen.
