High School Project Build II

Well we had sucess with last years project truck. Here is the link to it:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=639174

My name is Jeff Ferguson(Farmtrucks) and I teach Auto Mechanics at Hancock County High School in Sneedville, TN, where I have taught for 20 yrs.

To try and get my students and more students interested in my classes, we are doing another project build.

Build plan is going to be a 72 c10 "Patina" pickup, 5.3 LS, 4l60e, A/C, suspension swap, and various other things(keeping paint work to a minimum, because we don't have a paint booth)

Sponsors will be recognized in build thread. After completion the truck will be auctioned off on E-bay. All proceeds will be going back to my class fund, so hopefully we can keep doing this ever year.

If you have an interest in helping with this project, please let me know.

Re: High School Project Build II

That pickup looks like it's in great shape, I wonder if the hood is somewhere in that barn or maybe somewhere else on her property.

We got the hood - it was layed upside down in the bed and the barn leaked and it rotted the corner of hood

Re: High School Project Build II

If you are going to make this into a short bed then aftermarket bedsides are the only way to go, unless you personally have the skills to make it happen because no student is going to be able to realistically take on this job unless they have been trained by a master fabricator.
I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just trying to be realistic, I know a master fabricator who took on the job and he said it was a nightmare and that he would never do it again.

Re: High School Project Build II

Cut it, but be extremely neat with the cuts and tape everything off when you grind the welds down. Then do a little paint touch up on the original paint. It will be cool either way though

Re: High School Project Build II

If we cut it - we will use original bedsides - if we screw it up, then we'll buy new bedsides

Re: High School Project Build II

All the guys are wanting to shorten the bed - and that may be what we do

Re: High School Project Build II

I like long and short beds but since you plan to sell it like the first one short would probably bring more $$$.

This is really cool. My high school's shop class was lame, it was all book work so I never bothered taking it. I would have signed up for your class in a second.
