Project "CSautosports 69"

[Chris92]

I didn't need another project, but I have been looking for a 1969 truck to build for a long time. It got so bad that my wife would come home after being out of town to tell me about all of the '67-'72 trucks that she found for us. I didn't want to get one that was complete or even almost finished. I really wanted one with no motor or transmission. I think that I added all of these requirements just so I wouldn't find one for a long time.

Every Friday for years I would check out craigslist. Then in 2010 I found this one only 20 miles from my house. We ended up going over there that day and picking it up. It sat in my shop while I worked on a lot of other projects.

One day my wife and I went to the shop and just started tearing it down.

As of today, 7/4/2015, we have set the motor and transmission between the frame rails. We have a long way to go, but we are really starting to make a lot of progress. I will start from 2010 to current and document the process.
Hopefully to completion in 2016 or so depending on paint.

For me it's also pretty cool to watch how our shop changes over the years.

Thanks!

Chris
