Our new 69C10 project

Here is the start of our build, My boys and I (13 & 11) flew from Oregon to Texas and bought his 69C10 from a fellow board member and drove it home over 6 days, it was the trip of a lifetime for us and worth the price of the truck, although my wife s not so sure of that after I started buying parts! Started out life as a 6 cly three speed SWB and now a Vortec350 with a 700R4, ECE drop and just finished the 307 Eaton posi, so she cruises down the road 70mph @ 1500rpm. Now off comes the body, we got a perfect rust free cab and doors at the soda blaster!

Re: Our new 69C10 project

They are so into it, I get a call every time a part shows up to let me know what it is, The cab and doors were in worse shape than I expected, and the frame nneds some attention, but we found that cab with doors, it only had 37,000 original miles and there is not even a spot of rust anywhere, not even the doors, I couldnt believe it. She runs out nice the PO did a nice job on the drivetrain, it only has 2700 miles on it now. My 72 will be my 13 year olds first truck in a few years, we have been doing a little on it, not too nice but much nicer than anything I had when I was growing up.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

That will make a great first truck for him. My son and I will be starting on my old 68 SWB as soon as I get my 72 done.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

I'm in. So awesome that your boys are involved. My 4 year old son made me thank the lord the other day when he said " daddy I want a old truck like yours... ...but with a big block." The wife said I have him brain washed.

Can't wait to see more of your truck.

You can't blame him for wanting a big block.

I hear THAT guy does really good work, but he is soooooo slow.

Re: Our new 69C10 project

Did you do the soda blasting or someone else? Did it take it clear down to the metal?

Re: Our new 69C10 project

I had a local company sodablast.com do the work, its down to bare metal inside and out, they did a outstanding job, they also sell small soda blast equipment, but I had them do the cab, doors and fenders in their booth. They are local and great to work with www.soda-blast.com in tigard, Or.

Good day gentlemen and any ladies as may be here. We are Soda-Blast.Com, the blasting shop who prepped the metal for Scott. We do soda blasting but did not do so on this metal. We used the soda blasting process with recycled crushed glass. We did #70 screen glass @60 PSI. Glass cleans coatings faster, removes rust and gives a mild profile. Soda would have worked on most of the metal but soda will not work on the rust.

We use soft abrasive (in this case glass) at low pressure, at a lean feed rate so we minimize heat buildup and impact blast pressure to minimize panel distortion. (Oil canning)

I just wanted to say hello and to correct the "soda blasting" statements so there is no misunderstandings for any of you who wish to use the same process. We have videos of different blasting we have done on YouTube. We are EcoSodaBlaster. We also have our mini soda blaster that also does glass and garnet for all you guys who are doing parts in your garage. And it works! Model K50 on our website. I do not get to the forums that often, so if you have any direct questions, you can call or stop by.

You guys have some nice looking projects on here. See ya round.
