Intro and some pics

Hello all, I have been lurking around here for the last couple years. I had joined after picking up a '64 C10 but never really got going on that project. A couple weeks ago I figured I would finally start on it and picked up the front suspension and rear end from a '74 C10. The day after that I ran across a deal on a '68 C10 that I could not pass up. '68 is my favorite year truck so I figured I would put my time and money into that one and sell the '64.

About 10 years ago I had another '68 C10 that I put a 350, 700R4 and dropped it 2.5"/4". It had 275/60-15's all around. I shaved the door handles, in cab fuel tank and grafted in a late model fuel door for the saddle tanks. The interior was done in grey tweed and a Dakota Digital dash. It drove great, handled even better and got 20+ mpg on the highway. I ended up selling it and my '69 Camaro when I started building a Austin Healey kit car. Looking back, not a great idea. Oh well.

Since then I have had a number of other projects, including a Pro-Touring style '69 Camaro. That car rocked but was sold during my divorce. I also have a '98 C1500 parts hauler truck, a fiberglass '27 Model T roadster project and a '30 Model A 2 door Sedan body with a 6" chop. The T and A are both long term projects.

Well, here are some pics of my current '68. It was a one owner, fairly original and unmolested truck. The owner did swap the 327 for a 350 but still has the TH400, PS and PB, AM radio that still works and just about zero rust. It runs and drives well but I will make it better. I am going to start with dropping it, disc brakes and swapping the rear end. I'll post more pics as I start doing some work on it.

Thanks for reading, now some pics...
