Our new 69C10 project

[Tomahawk30]

Loving it, but I think the kids like it even more!

Interior is looking great!!

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Well this weekend was very slow it seemed, but looking back we did get alot done, went through all the parts we have left over to go to the for sale area, lots! The boys did a great job helping install the new gauge cluster from Putters customs, finished almost all the cab wiring and started on the engine bay with the American auto wire kit, its really nice but does take a lot of time. Here is a few more pictures

Door panel trim came from Brothers, they have the nicest I found.

That cluster looks great. Sure looks like a bunch of green backs too. I hope I can fit a custom cluster in mine one of these days.

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Yes it was a bunch of green backs and now the temp gauge needs to be repaired or replaced the sending tube broke off, so the cluster is back out and I shippin goff the gauge unless I can find a replacement as Auto meter does not make that size temp anymore. I love the cluster, hope it all works out in the end. Thanks for the kind works all

This truck looks even more amazing in person guys! I was able to spend some time checking it out yesterday, and it truly is a dream truck in the making!!!

[72BlckButy]

That thing is turning out amazing... keep at it!

[scotts72heavyhalf]

We have had some slow progress but seeing a light at the end of the wire harness. Finished the cab, cluster and engine wire harness install yesterday and started bleeding the brakes and finished the door panel installation. Now we are just waiting for some more wire covering to show up to make it all nice and tidy. Had to send out the temp guage for repairs and it should be back this week and then we are going to fire her up finally. Looks like the fenders, hood and cowl are almost complete as well. Best of all I have room in the shop thanks to this forum and everyone helping us get the extra parts out of here, almost all our extra parts are gone and I can move a bit now.

[72BlckButy]

Amazing work guys!

Scott, you and your men are doing fantastic! You gotta stop by on a sunny day so we can get a pic(s) of it. Awesome Job!

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Will do, we should have the front clip back soon and when were done we will drive it by, I think I may have another project to have done, looking at restoring an old gas pump for display and it needs to be stripped, I`ll let you know.

[mcbassin]

This thing is amazing! I love the paint and interior. Very inspirational truck.

[scotts72heavyhalf]

thanks for the great comments, The boys wanted to try firing her up, so one held the core support and after a few turns off she went, nice to hear it run again after the last six months apart. Waiting for a pair of fenders to mount his weekend the we can pull it out for some fresh air, if the rain ever stops.

[RCbowtie69]

Looking SWEET!!!!!! Your progress is coming along & i love the pictures. Keep up the hard work & keep on truckin'

[HotRodHoarder]

Scott, got the fenders, cowl and bottom of hood painted today. Will get the top of the hood sprayed tomorrow. Cut and buff first thing next week and you can get back to work. Here is some pics from today.

Looks great. we're going to have to orginize a NW get together when the weather gets better. I just got done doing a bunch of work on my 67

[scotts72heavyhalf]

That sounds great, We can hardly wait to get the chip togather, went to the Portland rodster show this weekend and saw a lot of nice trucks and cars of course too. I think it gave my boys some extra ideas though, like a lift in the new shop.

Bruce your really doing a beautiful job on the body and paint.

Hi Scott, I finally made it over here on this side of the board to check out the all hands on Brawner build thread and it looks great , I read through all eight pages and the attention to detail and time spent shows well in your pictures. Like I told ya before in person while they were both swapping out some newly purchased parts out in front of my shop, it is great seeing the shown interest and although your sons may not realize it right now, these are some of those memories that you guys will always have to cherish and look back upon from time to time. My oldest boy has no interest whatsoever in getting a little CHEVY/GMC grease under his finger nails and currently thinks that honda's and subaru wrx's are the cool ticket, now my youngest boy however is the complete opposite and has enjoyed shop time with ol' dad since he was seven or so. As was already said by a couple others here in your thread, if you need a hand with anything no matter how minor, I am just a phone call away. Keep up the good work guys! Mel

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Thanks for the nice comments and of course all the help you have given me with parts and information, our truck is made possible with the expert help from the members of this forum and the guys with passion for these trucks like you Mel. See you soon.
