Project "twinkie"

[kingman14]

Well it's time. I bought this truck a few months back and it's time to start the VERY slow resto on it (i'm a poor boy). I'm 20 and this will be my first resto since i was about 8 ( my dad use to have a 68-72 nova all the time) and i helped him with those all the time. i have a '78 toyota and as with all toyotas with age came rust so i have to keep it patched together. I also build my own motors and transmissions.

The truck is a '69 with a 307 and th400. it has factory power steering, power brakes, and A/C.
It has a levi's emblem on the dash and was upholstered (what was left of it) in denim. was there such a thing as a levi's edition c10?

The truck has a 307 in it now and the plans for now are to repair the body and get it in primer and do the same with the frame and get it painted or powder coated. At that point i'll build my very mild 350 to run while i search for the manual conversion parts i need and build a sbc 302 to go in it with a muncie or saginaw 4speed. when the 350 comes out for the 302 to go in i'll do the paint (still undecided but thinking a 2010 camaro green or a candy tangerine kinda color)







i'll have to fab new kick panels for both sides unless someone knows where i can buy complete new ones.











passenger rear fender had a rip and a few dents that i straightened out with the good ol body hammer and some filler.


This is gonna be a slower build but i'm so excited that i finally got my dream truck.
i welcome all comments good and bad! looking forward to some input and advice!
