Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Leonado Da'Vinci said you never really finish a piece of art, you just get to a point where you can, in clear conscious, abandon it.
I wonder if that will happen to us. I wonder if my truck will ever truely be "finished" I bet Markb could attest to this..... I say this in open wondering of what is next for yours? |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Recently a Google search for for an original 1965 C10/20 Chevy order sheet brought me to this site...joining immediately, my spare time is used to read these amazing build stories. I just finished Vitamin C-10 and several others, totally impressed and wanting my old 65 C-10. It was a fleet lwb, 283, granny 4 speed, hd coils, deluxe heater, custom....fleet yellow and white. I should have kept it.
I admire your truck and the effort this build took. Thanks for the story. Doug |

Sounds like you had a nice one. Since the show a lot has happened..............just not to the truck. I have worked on Greg's some then came vacation to Panama City Beach. Once we got back we had a tradegy. After boarding our dogs for our vacation, the kennel said they taught August (My 13yr old daughters Border Collie) how to swim. They said she loved it and to come back on Saturday from 1-3. We went there today and she had a blast, but while walking back to the truck to leave she pee'd and got wobbly and couldn't stand. We rushed her to the vet. She quit breathing 5 minutes before we got there. The Dr. tried to revive her but couldn't do anything. The doc said she drowned. I'm still puzzled but more so sad for my daughter. August was Sierra's pride and joy. August was almost 3 and my daughter has spent 2 1/2 yrs training her for agility, Frisbee etc. She was wanting to and was close to going to competition. August was a very loving and loyal dog. She will be greatly missed. The pics below were taken the day she died. I've got back on Greg's cab and things around the house have settled down. If anyone knows of a Border Collie breeder in the south east please LMK. Thanks. We have a few leads right now. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Sorry to hear about the loss my prayers are with your family, Border collies are smart and loyal dogs, I hope she gets another one soon to help her heal. Border Collies are my favorite breed and there are a few places here in Ga to find Border Collie rescues.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, Sorry for your family's loss, A good dog is a beloved member of the family, and we take it pretty hard too..
Lots of Border Collies here in Idaho, But I bet you can find something closer..... If not, let me know.... I just cannot imagine our home without a cowdog or two Bubba |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Sorry for your families loss! Losing a wonderful dog is one of the hard things in life. I am glad you are looking for a new dog, better to have them then not.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I am sorry to hear of your lost border collie. I do wish to thank every one of you for the welcome to this site. I admit I got the bible out, blew the dust off the cover, (sly reference to a song) and agreed with your recommendations.
I should probably start a new general thread for this, but...I know I have an audience here so here goes. In february I ran across an add for a 64 maybe 1 ton, old air force truck, inline six, still blue and really affordable, like 1500 bucks. Try as I did I could not find it again. You know how it is when you see a gorgeous girl with lots of potential. As I remember it was in Michigan, do nøt confuse this with the Hemingway story.:lol: Just this once RIP Marty and Barbie Woods.

Here is a link to their Facebook page. Two Daughters Dog Collars On to truck stuff...............Oh wait I don't have any updates. ;) |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
So sorry for your family's loss. We went through it too the last few years. The last one was our rescued Mini Doxy. She had heart failure. I still miss her. :(
Ripley misses her too. http://belair.smugmug.com/Family/Rip...P1010081-M.jpg |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, I have read through your entire build thread, but I can't seem to find where you bought most of your replacement patch panels from...like the floor pans, rockers, that sort of thing. Mind filling me in? Thanks!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
So Alan, You gotta tell us the truth, does the big grin still appear on your face every time you go drive that beautiful truck? It sure looks great in those parade pictures.:clap:

Well that was an adventure. First post and I've been on here for a few week now rea the thread top to bottom. Reason being was gonna buy a 61 gmc and a 61 chev all in one place Now that I've seen how nice they can be. I purchased them both I've built a few pickups now (59 apache bagged and 98 full size also bagged) and can't wait to get out of my work camp to start the tear down. You have done an amazing job both on your truck and on this thread keeping a 60's newbie informed with your tip and tricks thank you very much and keep on building you are a very skilled individual Here is a couple pics

Well the mustang is about done which means a spot might be opening in the shop. I have to contact one guy and give him first shot since he has been waiting, but sometimes life changes things up on us. I still have to do a shake down test drive once he gets a tag for it. |

Great Pics Alan!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Cool pic's Alan, as many times as I've seen pic's of your truck today I just noticed you have a GMC hood on your truck. It adds a touch of class to an already classy truck, couldn't be cause mine is all GMC could it? But I was wondering how I missed that early on, oh it don't matter it looks killer and that's what's important anyhow. Do you have a pic of the one under the Coke sign in color? I like the ones outside the barn as well thanks for posting..Vernski:bling:
