1969 Canadian C10
OK, so here's where I started, after owning her since 1977 or 78. Used it for daily driver, running kids around etc. Then she sat in my Dad's shop for 10 years or so - until Dad sold the property, so I had to bring it home. A lot of stuff piled up/on/around it so to get started that all had to go.

Re: 1969 Canadian C10
For me, the best part of my project is I am using the original engine and trans ordered for this truck. Just trying to make it a little better than GM did..
Got em painted up, trans back on...

Re: 1969 Canadian C10
A little further along, here's the March kit, engine is mounted in frame.
I built my own power steering lines, always had trouble with the GM ones leaking... Also NOS kit, carb, and Flamethrower Distributor. Used braided fuel line, and put a tank between the frame in the back, pics of that coming.

Rebuilt the original Alternator, just put some clear on it. The Gearbox is NAPA replacement.

March Kit: 23020 for Big block chevy Also needed: Edelbrock long water pump 8851 My engine originally had a short water pump, and rad clearance could have been an issue with my 4 core rad. Mounted it all up, is OK - lucky!
