Hey everybody, I got my hands on this C10 a few months back. Been perusing these forums for ideas and info. Finally got an account so I can start contributing.

Re: 68 C10 in BC Canada
All I see is a sleeping beauty waiting to be woken up! Hope to see it all cleaned up.

Re: 68 C10 in BC Canada
Welcome! We've seen the "before" picture, maybe you can show us how it looked after a good cleaning. It looks to be in good shape.

Here she is post pressure wash. I have also changed the oil, new plugs and wires, coolant flush, trans oil, and diff oil. Shopping for tires right now. Those are coming up on 30 years old...

Re: 68 C10 in BC Canada
Beautiful! Sort of looks like the rockers have been replaced?

Re: 68 C10 in BC Canada
Unfortunately yeah. They just put caps over top and it's rotten underneath. I have wanted to try tackling some of this kind of body work, so I'm actually looking forward to tearing it apart.

Re: 68 C10 in BC Canada
WOW. Nice truck. Paint looks pretty good and I would call that color uncommon for the year, is it original?

Re: 68 C10 in BC Canada
292 w/ 3 in the tree. Planning on leaving it that way, although I may turbo it... I like power, but I also like to be different.
Yep on the original color, but it needs some work. Rust in spots. Lots of spots. ps. Check out the glass bottle in the corner of the engine bay that's still there. That MUST be rare... Last edited by I3iggy; 07-13-2022 at 07:43 PM. |
