I am planning on sending my red '69 C/10 to the paint shop in month or so, and the '67 C-30 dually is on deck for the next project to get paint. I bought this truck from 72Freak to be my beat around truck while my '69 is being painted and my goal is simply to spend as little money as possible on this truck while improving the condition as much as I can with leftover parts. I have 8 parts trucks, and lots of other parts for these trucks so I already have 95% of the stuff I need to make it really decent. For anyone unfamiliar with it, the truck is '69 SWB fleet in excellent mechanical shape and has a great running 250 L6 with a 3OTT. Everything works works except the wipers and I'll have those fixed by the weekend. The truck has a new starter and carb and HOPEFULLY the 6 banger will save a few pennies on fuel!
It needs rockers and some other rust repair and could use driver's side door. I have better body panels for the ones damaged and I even have a pretty decent SWB fleet bed that I could put on it, but I'm not sure yet if I'm going to leave the body as is for now and do the shop truck thing, or if I'm going to get the body straight and maybe put it in black primer. I have entertained the idea of putting a '68 clip I have on it as well - I'm just not sure of anything yet.
I have another set of 6 lug 8" Rallys with decent tires that will probably end up on it and I definitely plan on adjusting the altitude in a southbound direction. Anyway here's some pics of how it sits right now. I'm going to keep up running list of how much I have in the truck, and see what I come up with. I am into the truck for $1000 to the door as is right now...
