Project Black Hole For Money
Thanks for looking at my build thread BLACK HOLE FOR MONEY. I got interested in these trucks because my Dad had a '68 Custom long bed and I really liked it. I have 2 builds going on, well one really. My first is a '67 C-20 long be that i converted from a 3 speed to a 700R4. It has a 283 with a 2 barrel. Its rusty but it always starts and I only paid $355 for it on Ebay. This truck runs fairly decent but is really rusty. I have added tilt, PB, PS and like I said earlier, 700R4 auto transmission. I am afraid to do too much disassembly because most likely I'll destroy whatever I touch because of the rust.
My second project is a '69 C-10. The truck originally had a 350, PS, PB, AC, 12 bolt rear (open diff) and is a long bed. I acquired this for $180. It was completely roached so the only thing I'm saving is the frame, the rear and the front end. I have a delima that I'm wrestling with. Do I complete the '69 fame or do I continue to upgrade the running '67. My goal for at least one truck is to lower it, disc brakes front and rear, 5.3 engine upgrade with a 4L60 auto trans. Either truck I choose will need complete sheet metal transplant.
