CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

CK Truck magazine did a feature on my '68 C10 in their February issue. They recently uploaded a digital version here and I wanted to share:

Pay particular attention to the interior. That's some of Grumpy Old Man's work and he did a great job for me.

There's no shortage of cool trucks out there, so I was pretty happy that they thought mine was cool enough to put into print.

If you haven't heard of them before, check them out. They've only been at it about a year. They're nice folks and put out a quality publication.

I like what you did with the I6. Nice job and truck.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

beautiful, congrats!

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Very cool. Beautiful truck

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

I have that mag. We were at Battle in Bama and I'm pretty sure I took pics of your truck.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Yep, found 'em....isn't this yours??

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Very nice truck congrats on the win .

Was that a 90s g20 van you used the speedo from ?

How about a
Picture of your cluster

I have a 95 g20 van I keep looking at the speedo as I have not found the right s10 cluster to convert it over

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Congrats and nice truck! Thanks for sharing

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Congrats.
Well deserved!

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

That color is perfect. Very classy with a touch of evil. Is it a factory color? Anniversary gold?

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

That's great. Great story on how you found it too.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Thanks to everyone for all the compliments and kind words!

Myself, that is indeed my truck. We had a blast at Battle in Bama on C10 Row. It's one of my favorite shows of the year.

gmc684x4, The speedometer is from a 94 S10 without a tach. It's a one year only cluster in that it's an 85 MPH speedo. I use those in much the same way that ls1nova does his conversions with the later 100 MPH S10 speedometers. I looked through my phone, but I don't have a pic of the gauge cluster. I'll get you one tomorrow.

Big Kev-O, The color is a factory GM color from the early 2000s called Cashmere.

That's some crazy nice work!
I am still attempting to figure out how you hid the air-conditioning hoses.
First class.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

First Class is RIGHT!..now I need one with a SIX. Beautiful engine bay (and the rest, of course).

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

That’s a tough picture to get due to the reflections. But here’s the best I could come up with.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Congrats that’s a gorgeous truck.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Thanks! I went through the kick panel vent on the passenger side. To keep the heater hose from linking, I wrapped them in wire coils and used some adhesive lined heat shrink to hold the bends.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Very nice I have a 94 s10 cluster have not found a latter one for lsnova kit

How did the 85 mph speedo work out for stock faceplate ?

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

It works out very close to the 100 MPH on the factory c10 faceplate. I've used them on about a half dozen c10s over the years.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

1000 cable rpm is 60mph. The de-facto standard. So If you can hook it up it should work. Glad it continued to work past 85, looks great.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Thank you i have been looking for the newer one when the one I have will work without painting the face plate going to pull the s10 speedo in the am and take it apart
build will be 5.3 with 4l80e into a 68 gmc

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Great looking truck.
We've had a few cars shot for features in Car Craft and Chevy High Performance magazines.
We call it "getting the nod" from the magazine staff. I don't know it worked out for you but the photo shoot for our cars had to be later in the day with the sun pretty low because the cars/trucks are so shiny it creates bright spots in the photos.
I like to take the pics and have them framed for some garage art.
Again great truck.

Re: CKTruck Magazine Feature on my '68
 

Congrats on the coverage. Very cool build!
