First off, this "build thread" is starting halfway through the build.

It all started back in december 07 when i decided that i needed a new project. I always wanted an old C10 and i happened to see one for sale in the local trading post.. so i went out and looked at it.

It was very rusty. the fenders were rusted out, the rockers, cab corners, Apilars, and radiator support. but it was a 68 short fleet, and the floor of the bed was solid with only surface rust. NO rust through. It had a mid seventies 350 in it that the owner told me had ran the previous summer(that was a lie) and it had previously been wrecked and somebody put a 69 front end on it.

anyway..for $1500 dollars i fugure the tuck was worth it.

heres some pics of what it looked like when i first got it.
