Hello all! excited to get started on my new project. Just got my first C10. Its a factory big block 396 but has a 454 now. Factory a/c, power steering, power brakes. I got a deal on it but it still needs a lot of tlc.

So here's the bad and the ugly. Need a parts cab for these areas. I cant find a replacement part for that support anywhere. Found the roof skin, inside and out, but not that windshield post.

Re: New owner/member
Yea I'm gonna stick with it. I just need to get it running and see what happens. Guy I bought it from said it was loosing oil pressure so might be pump, gauge, who knows. On top of that its been sitting for a long time so I'm going to get some marvels mystery oil and go from there.

Re: New owner/member
Hello, I'm new to the site and would like to give some information about me . I'm 58 years old and semi-retired. I've been a car guy since I was very young. I have a restored classic 67 Chevelle, and a 66 Belair project under construction. I restored a 72 C10 Cheyenne Super in 1995. I took it to the truck nationals at Carlisle, Pa in 1997. I had no intentions on selling it but a guy offered me crazy money for it and I sold it. I recently discovered a 1969 Chevy C50 at a local farm. I've considered buying it. ??? I'd like to put the C50 body on a more modern 3/4 or 1 ton chassis. I'm looking for some help and ideas on that conversion. ?????
