Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
Sounds like a good plan Chad. I know it's hard to sell a project that is incomplete. Some people don't have the vision of how it will turn out. Throw some paint and an interior in it and you will sell it in no time. Good luck with everything buddy.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
Yep, I agree... we can finish the truck for the cost of paint and interior. We have almost everything else. Nothing wrong with a big block step side bulldozing the ground running rally wheels. Count me in!

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
I agree. You are doing the right thing with finishing it...and leave the logo as an option for the potential buyer...use it like a carrot

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
No I would paint it a very shiney Hugger orange with white roof like you thought about doing. This would probably give you your biggest market.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
I think that would look awesome Chad. I love Hugger Orange and even though Red is my favorite color I still think about painting it Hugger Orange sometimes. I'm like 75/25 Red/Hugger. I think your definitely on the right track buddy.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
I like them both, but I just want to run trim around the fender wells.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
Yeah main bearings can look bad and give you a scare but still have a fine crank shaft. The idea is for the soft bearings to catch the dirt particles and score but not damage the journals. Just replace the bearings.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
Okay fellas ! The GMC is sold and on it's way to Texas. Back on this one! I'll be pulling the cab soon to start the bodywork and final blocking. I have another set of buckets purchased, I'm going to pick them up soon.
This one will be Hugger Orange with saddle buckets, carpet, etc. Rosewood steering wheel, 70-71 Custom door panels and lots of Lokar stuff. Not sure what I will do on the suspension yet, I have a couple ideas but it will be heavily PB influenced if you know what I mean ![]() The GMC was fun guys! Thanks for following along. It went to a great guy. He's going to paint it and has all new upper and lower trim on the way.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
Hey man.. thanks for joining
I picked up a set of 69-70 truck buckets the other day and I will probably go to Bowling Green in a couple weeks to get my fleet bed. This truck will be pretty easy from here though.. zero rust, its just paint and final assembly. (And a few sparks.. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project
Ummm.. Possibly. What would a nicely restored 73-87 front K-member bring at a fruit market in China?
