My 68 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JesseH13 · 11-23-2009, 12:25 AM

ONCE WAS LONG BED CONVERTED

YESTERDAY 11/21/09 i received my 68 c10 short-fleet. I gave it up my 1964 Malibu chevelle ss 2 door coupe for this truck. I have many plans for this it is going to be a long term project truck im only 17 and in high school as a senior and money is limited (side job money) and just excited to get it going down the road.

truck is called crooked because some said it is crooked which is not all body lines line up correctly. so now my dad (kevsclassics) said it is crooked.

here are some pics

We got it started up the same day we received it now im concentrating on making it a well running truck.

someday it'll look this low ^-^(photoshop bags)

Awesome to see another young gun here on the boards! I just graduated high school and am about to begin rust repair on mine now that I have all of my mechanical issues sorted. Go and make a build thread once you get the chance!

JesseH13 · 11-23-2009, 01:11 AM

SacramentoJoe · 11-23-2009, 01:44 AM

Welcome to the Forum! Cool truck!

I love those black plates. Looks like its got alot of nice original stuff, the column shifter and the air injection reactor system is still hooked up.

I don't understand the go-low part, but thats just me. Good Luck!

unclewatts · 11-23-2009, 01:59 AM

WELCOME FROM YOUR DAD

Yes I am so proud to see how happy you are with your truck "Crooked".
The look on your face when you finally had it in your possession priceless.

*Dylan · 11-24-2009, 02:08 AM

The paint code will tell you if it is. I think that's the correct code for it, it might be 541 though, or 545, I honestly can't remember. Someone else who knows will chime in.

franky69c10 · 11-24-2009, 06:22 PM

Looks nice anymore pics

Bob 68327 · 11-24-2009, 06:31 PM

It is indeed a 50th that's the right paint code. Congrats!!!!!
