Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010
Thanks for all you comments, I have been looking forward to working on this one again for a long time. When my wife said that I should, I did not weight to start. I took some more pictures of the work we got done last weekend, but have not been able to post them yet. Hopefully tomorrow. There is more rust int he cab then I had hoped, but all of it can be repaired.
My plans are to get it running for now with steel wheels and hubcaps and let -he body stay as it is for now. I have a 350 I traded work for and a TH400 that will go in it for now. Wheels/tires will be 15x6 with 215/70-15 BFG Radial TA's in the front , 15x8 with 255/70-15 BFG's (or 15x10 with 285/70-15 if I can find some).
Long range is to paint it back to the orginal color both outside and inside. I was Baby Blue with the gold interior when my grandfather had it. Outside will appear stock, but the running gear and stance will be anything but.
