OK... I have the bug and I'm all in....
Recently purchased my very first project truck! 67 Chevrolet C10 LWB, small window, original 283 V-8 (89K), power glide, very limited rust, stored the past 9 years, all stock. Adding front disc brakes this week + new wheels and rubber. Powder coating original steel wheels, going with center caps (after I find a set I like)...plan to do some light body stuff this winter with the main body work and interior rework happening next spring. Would like to convert to power steering as well....If anyone has any suggestions, ideas or "do this, don't do that" input... I'm all ears and open minded. I also plan to post photos as I progress....Excited to begin! TDMAC |

If you have the "BUG", you must have "PICS"........

Just FYI---original steel wheels generally will not fit over disk brakes.

Re: OK... I have the bug and I'm all in....
First, welcome to the forum. You're among friends here. Sounds like you have a good project. We'll all look forward to following your progress.
Big window was available in 67. Not sure if it was an option or just became available after GM ran out of the small windows that were left from previous years. Somebody else may be able to clarify that. Now, in case you haven't figured it out already...
