Ol' Blue As the Wife calls it.

I have been a truck owner since I was 16 years old ranging from my first 67 f100 to the current 69 C10. There was a time when I got divorced that i was without my truck (wife got it and i got the kids, sometimes I wonder who got the short end). I had a 9 passenger Ram Van with 360K miles on it and I traded it for a 69 C10 w/43k miles on it. I have been working on it ever since. Here are some of the pictures I have taken of it.Attachment 417330

The engine was a 91 marine crate engine that was sitting on the shelf at work so i added TPI to it. So far I have had two different doner vehicles and the drive line is as follows.
350 TPI
4-Speed w/granny
5 lug disc front and rear
lowered 3½" front 5" rear
Power steering, brakes, power windows, cruise, tilt, A/C, Am/FM Cassette, full guage package inc tach. It is painted PPG metal flake blue to match the blue powdercoated frame and parts. All I have left to do is paint the bed, hood and install glass all around.

Did you have any issues with your parking brake with your discs? What kind of rear calipers?
