Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Very nice build. You have great talent. Did you build the shop and house with Insulated Concrete Forms. Looks a lot like the stuff I built mine from. Think it was called BlueMaxx at the time. Love the tools you have. Wish I had made my Shop/ Apartment bigger, Lots bigger like yours. Again, great build and talent. Jim

Awesome job on raising the rear section 3". That is a cool mod for sure. Looks a ton cleaner than a Z notch. Nice!

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Looking amazing! I absolutely cant wait to see this chassis completed. This is the kind of top notch work that most of us envy and few can complete. Great work!

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
been a long couple of days. no work at the day job so i have worked on the truck. i am sick of grinding and blending!! slid rear in this afternoon and started box mounts. threw 4 in the scrap pile to get one. the front two need to be raised to match the rear mounts. kelly showed up at the shop from florida today. wants to raise the floor in the bed sides the next couple of weeks while he is in town. scored some original frame rivets and tool today. want to use as many as possible to make it look factory-ish.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
very cool! Now I will always wonder if trucks are all original since the frame rivits can be replicated
