Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed

Last weekend, I finally got around to replacing the windshield. I also ended up buying new back glass and doing away with the slider. I like it a lot better. The glass came from Auto City Classics and is the gray version.

Thank you. It's a late-model Toyota pickup color called Cavalry Blue.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed

Last weekend, the son and I threw a bra on the truck and headed south to Scottsdale for Goodguys. The truck made the 14 hour round trip without any issues. We picked up a few rock chips on the new windshield but it was totally worth it.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed

Not a bad haul . A couple initial rock & roll marks for that long of a trip is not bad @ all. Glad it went well.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed

Just a brief update on the boy's truck. He's been driving it intermittently as weather permits. No issues or concerns. I backed it out on Saturday and cleaned it up and decided to snap a few pics.

Still looking good! So many shades of blue look so good on these trucks.
