I'm getting started on my 69 c10
I have some rust issues to address, rockers, lower door patch panels, roof replacement and drip rails and inner upper panel over the windshield. The truck is currently red, lots of red and I found a color I really like here on the boards from a member in Canada.
I have a couple of very large cedar trees I pushed over and saved at the farm and plan on making my bed out of the heart of one of them. I have already done the engine, 383 Stroker motor with Dart aluminum heads paired to a 700r4, the interior has a freshly covered bench seat and door panels to match. Stereo will go in when I put it back together. This is the color I think I'm going to use |

Here is what it looks like now, and no it's not hooked up to that Rv!

Looks like it will be a nice project. My first '67-'72 truck was a stepper. That was back in the mid '80's. Maybe I will find another one some day. Keep us updated on your progress. LockDoc

Re: I'm getting started on my 69 c10
I'm drooling over the idea of a home-made cedar bed. Take pictures please!! I dig the new color too. Good choice!

Re: I'm getting started on my 69 c10
They have been curing for about 8 years, should be just about ready. I'll take pictures of the process too. Woodworking is one of my passions.

Re: I'm getting started on my 69 c10
Welcome from Arizona.
Nice color selection. I keep flip flopping towards different final colors but this one would be nice. Really cool with a black top but not very practical. I have a black Chevelle and DO NOT WANT ANOTHER black vehicle anytime soon. If that roof is as bad as you mentioned you might want to consider grafting on another roof. Fairly easy to find, and a lot less work that replacing all that is rotted. I did mine on my 68 (Homer) in two days time. Not all smoothed out, but off and back on.
