I'm about an hour up the road from you and also doing the YouTube deal. My truck is a full on restoration with a lot of changes so its a lot of time involved. Im building mine to also be my project hauler. In a lot of ways I wish I had the approach of a shop truck but im too much of a perfectionist. That's kind of how mine started but the 292 was slam wore out and she was ate up. I think I first disassembled my truck in oct 19.

Maybe if I ever finish my truck we can cruise.
I just read through your whole thread. Excellent work! I'm sure I'll end up replacing the rockers, cab corners, and a-pillar lowers in mine, but I'm in no hurry to do any of that. I have literally a dozen other project cars that need my time more than the C-10 does. lol

I'm not exactly back to working on the truck again, just starting this thread and updating it roughly once a week using my videos and what pictures I actually have from when I was building it last year. I worked on it May-June and the whole month of October. I actually am still AD, and I had those couple months free between PCS, so I spent all my time working on the truck. Things have slowed to a stop currently, but I see some more free time coming my way soon, and I'll get the truck fully buttoned up and ready to cruise. Then I'll turn my attention back to my '72 Datsun 620 pickup. I need to finish making the entire floor from scratch and get it back on the frame. The Datsun has been at least 10x more popular on my YouTube channel than the C-10, so it has to come back ASAP.
