Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
 

Hey all,

I am a 26 year old father of one, been married for 3 years and am from St. Croix Falls, WI. My grandfather just gave me a 67 or 68 C10. He doesnt remember which year it is, and I have yet to see it. The 67-72 has always been my favorite generation of Chevy truck. My plan is just to get the truck driveable and have some fun with it for a year or three, then do a frame off. I have other projects I am working on now, and dont need to get too distracted with this truck. Plus, I dont want to do the frame off until we have a house of our own. Right now my projects either happen in my business shop, or at a buddies house.

thanks all! I got some pix of the truck emailed to me tonight. Its sitting in the woods sank into the ground and pretty rusty. Its definately a 67, and there is a spare front clip, cab, and box from a 68 also there. Judging from the pix, there maybe a few salvagable parts between the two, but not much. All I really get is a frame with some spare parts.

Welcome .. :)

Given the starting point -- instead of a "frame off" you might just want to leap right into a "frame up" and build the truck from the inside out.

Welcome! I could just about throw a rock and land it in St. Croix Falls from the end of my driveway.

welcome from Minong, good luck with the project

hey, i know your truck! I have seen it a thousand times. I grew up in lindstrom, about 5 miles down Co Rd 14. Do you live right behind the old library in town there?


EDIT: Ill post a pic or two of just how bad it is when I get out to my shop. Im inside on the lappy right now and I have no way to compress the pix right now and they are too large to add as an attachment

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
 

Yeah, its pretty much a "frame up" instead of the frame off like panhandler said. Also, its a small window 67, which I dont like. Teh 68 front end is sunk into the ground pretty bad, so I doubt highly that its any good, and the roof is all dented in. Oh well, cant complain for free right? :D It gives me a foundation to start building from if nothing else. I am supposed to be getting more pix of the 67(blue) tonight. I asked for some shots of the doors, fenders, rockers etc.

I used to live by the big blue water tower. I moved 3 years ago and actually have a Center City address for now. However looking at the City's plans it looks like I'll be a Lindstrom resident again by 2015.

You are thinking of another truck like mine in town. There is a two wheel drive truck with the same paint as mine. The first day I saw it I was in my Escort and just about gave myself whiplash thinking somebody was driving away in my truck.

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
 

ahh. Yeah, the one I am thinking about is a 2wd and has a spare tire in the box right behind the driver. My buddy who lives over here also just got his hands on a 69 LWB. He is doing a cab off right now. We have one more buddy who is desperately searching for a 67-72. We'll have a small fleet of these things around here!

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
 

Hmmm...
I smell a board meet in the near future.

Welcome to the board from West Tennessee. Looks like you're wise to wait on these two until you can focus on them. I've started with a lot less and they turned out alright. Good luck.
