68 C10 in BC Canada
 

Hey everybody, I got my hands on this C10 a few months back. Been perusing these forums for ideas and info. Finally got an account so I can start contributing.

Well at least the body/paint are all done!
Got more pics?
And welcome from a hundred miles west of you!

All I see is a sleeping beauty waiting to be woken up! Hope to see it all cleaned up.

Welcome!

Welcome! We've seen the "before" picture, maybe you can show us how it looked after a good cleaning. It looks to be in good shape.

Here she is post pressure wash. I have also changed the oil, new plugs and wires, coolant flush, trans oil, and diff oil. Shopping for tires right now. Those are coming up on 30 years old...

Beautiful! Sort of looks like the rockers have been replaced?

Re: 68 C10 in BC Canada
 

Unfortunately yeah. They just put caps over top and it's rotten underneath. I have wanted to try tackling some of this kind of body work, so I'm actually looking forward to tearing it apart.

WOW. Nice truck. Paint looks pretty good and I would call that color uncommon for the year, is it original?

292 w/ 3 in the tree. Planning on leaving it that way, although I may turbo it... I like power, but I also like to be different.

Yep on the original color, but it needs some work. Rust in spots. Lots of spots.

ps. Check out the glass bottle in the corner of the engine bay that's still there. That MUST be rare...

Thanks!!!
I’ve heard of folks doing the turbo thing on these old 6 bangers, I like it!!!!

That was a GM OPTIKLEEN washer fluid bottle #1050418 . I don't remember when they were replaced by plastic version . Now they bottle it in a different style bottle #1051515. Nice truck. Welcome aboard . I'm looking forward to more.
