My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "

I have been on this site a while just looking around thought it was time to start a build thread

This is my 1962 C10, long bed , small back window, my grandfather bought it new in 1962 custom ordered with a Corvette 283 and 4.11 posi, I have owned this truck since he passed away in May of 89

Truck is now undergoing a major rust repair/restoration but has the following, I did all these upgrades in the late 90s

1994 TPI Roller, 1995 700R4 w V6 torque converter(higher stall), power steering and front crossmember from a 72 with disks, power booster, 12 bolt rear end with 3.08 gears, front and rear sway bars, full Auto Meter gauge set up on a custom dash insert, 2001 Dodge Ram seats

I just finished the major rust repairs including roof,rockers inner and outer,floors, fender lowers, cab corner, door jamb and front door post lowers, still have a few spots to fix but almost there

Goal is to make this a nice driver, not a show truck but a truck that will run and last another 30 years
