Owen's C10
So I picked up this beauty Saturday as project to work on with my son. It was sitting in the neighbours back yard for the last 10 or 15 years, maybe more....lol. It's pretty rough, but I've seen a lot worse, and since I only paid $100 if I start to feel like it needs too much work I can just push it aside...

Re: Owen's C10
I'm not 100% sure of the year, the cab and front end lead me to believe it's a 68, and all of the red parts on it are from a GMC of roughly the same year. there's a 920 badge on the left fender...the chassis has 8 lug wheels and a strange rear end with a bolt in center section and a bolt on diff cover, the neighbour says he has the ownership somewhere...

Re: Owen's C10
gutted the interior and ripped the box off, also cut all the springs out to keep me motivated...lol. floors, mounts, rockers, and cab corners are gone, but the rest is pretty decent, I'll know more when I pull the front clip off, but so far the windshield area, cowl, and firewall look good.

Re: Owen's C10
the frame gets rusty from the axel back which also makes it a good candidate for a step notch and back half. I also want to make it into a short bed truck.

Re: Owen's C10
If the blue front fender is original it's a 67. The cigarette lighter is a 67 only piece as well.

67 because of not having the side marker light right?

Yes. And the small window cab is the biggest clue, 67 was the only 67-72 year when you could get the small window in the 1/2 ton - 1 ton series trucks .

Re: Owen's C10
The red parts are 68 gmc and as stated above the rest of the truck is 67, the ignition is 67 only the fire wall is a little different from 68-72 as well lots of little things are different on 67's compared to 68-72

Re: Owen's C10
question: will my 86 stock control arms bolt up to the 67? that way I could use my old arms, spindles, and brakes, then I could put some normal wheels on it. well on the front anyway.

Re: Owen's C10
Saturday I did some work on the firewall, made some filler's for the two indentations, and then made some filler's for the gutter and welded that in. I made it with a slight angle cause I think it looks more molded in instead of when they're just flat...not fun, but it turned out pretty good.
