Re: Barnfind 1970 c10

Thanks for the welcome. As far as the truck goes the truck was painted once many years ago. I remember when it was. Other than the kraco 8 track ,topper cover,seat cover and any parts like hoses alternator I think it is original. I think he also had one head redone and other than that it is all from the factory.

There are so many different versions of condition like survivor,original ,etc here is what we plan. Hopefully anything we replace will be the same as original. In other words it has drum brakes so we will go back with that. If the seat cover is shot we want to go back with a original looking cover. Paint will be the same color as from the factory. We plan on hopefully using the original hubcaps if I can find either new nuts to go on them or a junker hubcap to get them from. Only thing I expect to change is to replace the 8 track with a original chevy 8 track. I work on electronics and I got this 8 track years ago. It is a factory underdash 8 track that would fit perfect in the truck. I also have a original Firebird or Camaro underdash 8 track with its underdash mounts to restore as well.

So hopefully if all goes well I will have all the parts to repair the brakes and other stuff by labor day. We will see how that goes.
