My 67 C10
And so it begins.......
I found this truck online and it was only a couple of hours away. The previous owner lost interest and decided to sell it. After a few conversations and texts I was the new owner. ![]() The cab is very solid. It has new rockers installed but everything else is solid and will remain.... I hope. ![]() It had a wood floor bed but it was pretty rough and I wanted a steel floor. I picked up another truck for this bed and gave the truck to my Dad. Now we have a couple of Father and Son projects! ![]() I disassembled the bed. It was a little rougher than I expected it to be but too bad. ![]() ![]() ![]() After a little grinding and welding it doesn't look too bad! ![]() Coated the bottom side with Rust Encapsulator. It should last another 45 years!! |

Re: My 67 C10
I made a little more progress today.
![]() My Dad and I got the cab and front end off of the frame today. ![]() I used 4 Harbor Freight furniture dollies to roll it around the garage. ![]() It's time to clean up the frame and order the suspension and brake parts. |

Re: My 67 C10
I had some presents when I got home today. The big brown truck dropped off my new rear fenders, rear roll pan and bed front panel. I should get to put my bed back together tomorrow. I ordered stake hole filler plates, gas filler and firewall fillers from Infanti machine. I should have those early next week.

Re: My 67 C10
I didn't make much progress today but I did get a little assistance from my son Ethan.
![]() ![]() ![]() I applied rust converter to the inside of the bed sides and the hard to reach corners. I will coat them with rust encapsulator next and reassemble the bed. |

Re: My 67 C10
Removed the windshield and back glass today. I have some more rust repair around them and the drip rail but not too bad. I also flipped the cab up on it's back to inspect the underside. It is not too bad. The cab supports need a little attention.

Re: My 67 C10
I got my bed put back together. The wheel wells and front panel were too far gone so I replaced them with new metal. I am going to coat the inside with a liner after the truck is painted.

Re: My 67 C10
I got the frame disassembled and ready for clean up. It will get a coating of rust encapsulator and satin black paint.

Re: My 67 C10
Good news, my foot is not broken but it is really bruised and swollen. Doctor said it will take a couple weeks for the swelling to go down. I should be back grinding on my frame by the weekend.

Re: My 67 C10
Got my new 3.3 lock to lock steering box painted and mounted. I got it from the local parts store for $126.
![]() Also installed the lower ball joints. Received the wrong tie rod in the correct box. Should have the correct one in the morning. Still waiting on cross shafts. I could have the front end assembled if I didn't insist on Moog parts. |

Re: My 67 C10
Following this build very closely. I'm doing a very similar build, just lagging a couple of months behind you. That truck looks like it was in pretty good condition to start with!
