High School Build #5
 
It’s been a while since we have built a truck
Well I found us another truck to build at school.
69 c10 long bed in hugger orange - it’s an original paint with patina and it’s gonna stay that way
I think this one will be a killer looking truck when we are done.

Here is the way we do it and it works great
Turn the extra in and weld it up

We bought a new bed floor because there wasn’t enough left of our old one to put it back together
We also bought a 71 short bed frame- so we didn’t have to shorten it - plus it done had an 80’s front crossmember in it
We put CPP springs, drop spindles and all new brakes on the front

I've enjoyed all the builds. You're a good man for doing this. 50 years down the road your students will still remember you. I still smile thinking about my old auto shop teacher. ;)

Put the bed on
Pulled the cab and front clip
We had to put them together to see how it looked - cab will be coming back off for some panel replacement

Through the hood and grill on and got the seat finished up - for a a little cruise-in this weekend
Truck is just a roller - may get the kids to push it 2 blocks for the cruise-in
