Project Shop Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So the planned uses for this truck are this: pull a car trailer occasionally, haul parts, and general work truck duties.

With that in mind I started with a 1969 swb C10 frame. Today we scraped 40 years of gunk off the frame, pressure washed it, and painted it with chassis black paint.

Took a spare cab I acquired, and bolted it on with new cab mounts.

Painted a 82 C10 front bumper that we had from another build. Decided to go with chrome on a buddy's project.

I'm getting a 67-68 front clip from a board member tomorrow to go on this truck. I'm not sure which bed to use. I have a fleetside and a stepside. Any input would be appreciated. Heres the fleet, it needs some work, as does the stepper.

Took a 305 and TH350 from a 79 C10. The trans had been rebuilt recently (so I was told), and I am rebuilding the 305. Picked up a Weiand intake to go on it. Also got a set of block hugger headers that I may use...we'll see how everything goes.

I also found an underdash a/c unit on a recent parts excursion (I also bought a 69 suburban....but that'll be a different thread)

Excellent....glad you are building this one up....I say go fleetside....more room for your parts

Looking forward to watching it come together....I'm right up the street if you need any help!
