Re: The 68 c10 plain and simple
So I have a lot of plans for the c10 including first swaping the old tired 250 for a sbc as soon as I can find everything to keep it a 3spd... Then to finish installing the drop springs 3in front 5in rear so it will set really nice......... then to bring the exterior back to its former glory.......

Re: The 68 c10 plain and simple
Thats going to be really cool. I love the 50th trucks. That would be really cool with the 6 cylinder too!
