1969 C10 build "La Trokita Project"

[frmula505]

I picked this truck up around a a year or so ago. I intended to use as work/shop truck. Well we all know how that goes.
Here is how it looked when I got it. 1969 C10 short wide.


I picked it up for only $200. It runs strong, just smoked real bad. I just put newer ralleys and some tires, and nice little work truck.




Well I noticed that it was leaving some prestone puddles every time I parked, so I had to stop using it. Found that all the freeze plugs were rusted out. Well While parked I replaced the rockers.



I found a motor on a lucky break. I have a friend that is rebuilding a 69 Nova.He found a mint 4 door parts car for the front clip he needed. They told him it ran. When he got there found it only had 58k miles on the 307. Since the 307's are not a real popular engine he sold it to me for $400.

Now my plans are dropped and bagged. Custom paint, wheels, and whatever I can come up with. Will post pics as I up load them to computer.
