1969 Canadian C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK, so here's where I started, after owning her since 1977 or 78. Used it for daily driver, running kids around etc. Then she sat in my Dad's shop for 10 years or so - until Dad sold the property, so I had to bring it home. A lot of stuff piled up/on/around it so to get started that all had to go.

69BB396 · 03-31-2011, 03:26 AM

69BB396 · 03-31-2011, 02:21 PM

For me, the best part of my project is I am using the original engine and trans ordered for this truck. Just trying to make it a little better than GM did..
Got em painted up, trans back on...

69BB396 · 03-31-2011, 02:31 PM

Getting the rear axle ready, brake lines, drive line....

69BB396 · 03-31-2011, 02:41 PM

A little further along, here's the March kit, engine is mounted in frame.
I built my own power steering lines, always had trouble with the GM ones leaking... Also NOS kit, carb, and Flamethrower Distributor.
Used braided fuel line, and put a tank between the frame in the back, pics of that coming.

69BB396 · 03-31-2011, 02:44 PM

Rebuilt the original Alternator, just put some clear on it. The Gearbox is NAPA replacement.

69BB396 · 03-31-2011, 02:53 PM

Converted to front discs, and getting the steering parts painted up. Included a shot of the TCI plate, threw in my VIN tags

I notice you had the old skool Mickey Thompson Valve Covers. Those are worth so much money, keep them or sell them to a vintage collector.. I have a pair for SB Chevys

**LEEVON** · 03-31-2011, 07:41 PM

Nice rear! I'm talking to your truck get your mind out of the gutter...

seriously nice build though.

If you clean them up, just clean the outside of them. The inside oil residue and oiling stain is something the collectors look for. I dont know why they just do. Since Mickey Thompson died all of his Orig parts have been highly valued.. Keep them buddy

69BB396 · 04-01-2011, 04:25 PM

Last pics for a bit. Fuel pump, front shocks, steering and stabilizer all in.
Here's the books I've been using. Th 69 GMC manual invaluable. Cheers
