Here is my 1968 C10. I bought this truck while I was in Iraq in 2006. The wheels are staggered Camaro rallye Repos (15x7 Front, 15x8 Rear 5x5 lug pattern) that have been painted red. I also added beauty rings and chrome center caps to them. In 2006, while I was still overseas, my pops put new parts from Southern KY Classics under it which consisted of a disc brake conversion, new shocks, springs, and drop spindles. The trucks has been lowered 5.5" in the front, 5" in the rear. I bought the Sir Micheal's roll pan and tailgate skin for it, and we have yet to replace the tailgate, but the pan is on. This truck means the world to me, and there is no amount of money out there i would sell it for. The truck was bought on Ebay from Iraq on my first deployment with the USMC. Not many people get that chance, and with the fact of how much the truck has brought my dad and me together, it will be a part of me forever. Literally, I have it tattooed on my chest. Ha!

So lets take you back to the beginning, and work forward.

Here is the Ebay photos i bought the ol gal from




(BTW, that date on the photos is correct. I bought the truck in June 2006)

Truck doesn't look bad huh??

Well, according to the pops, it was a disaster. He said the truck was nothing more than a parts truck with a set of mufflers on it.
