4th Gen. C-10

[4th Gen C-10]

Well here goes nothing! I am beginning a frame-off, resto-mod on a 1969 C-10. The story starts back in 1969 when my grandfather-in-law (1st Gen.) purchased the truck. A year or so late he "sold" it to my father-in-law (2nd Gen.). Fast forward to June 2010...the FIL decides he's tired or driving a truck without power-steering, A/C, power brakes, etc. I manage to talk him into giving me (3rd Gen.) the truck and have been using it as a daily driver up to now. The goal is to really update the inner workings of the truck and keep a mostly stock exterior with the goal that this will become my son's (4th Gen.) first vehicle. The best thing is that my son is psyched to have this as his first vehicle and plans to help as much as he can (he's about to turn 8)!!!

Here are some pics (one from 1970 and the rest from 2006 and finally one with my son from a few years ago sitting in the truck for the first time!
