Ol' 1968 C10
Hello Fellow C10 Enthusiasts, Today is the day I finally make a Build Thread on this truck. First of all I want to introduce myself to you all (I'm fairly new to this site). My Name is Rodrigo and I've gotten into these trucks by actually looking for a Chevy 3100 instead. I been in the "scene" (really don't know what else I should call it) for about 4 years now, starting at a age of 12. Doing simple addition you can I am currently 16 years old. Enough about me and more about the truck. It was a single owner 1968 C10 when I bought it. All original, no modifications done to it what so ever (other than maintenance stuff). Original 283, original 3 speed automatic transmission. For being a truck that sat outside for sometime and was put on the edge of a field for people to buy, it really is a clean truck. The regular rust areas, outer rocker panels, few holes in the floor and about a foot to 3 foot long rust section on the bed (see pictures). Other than that, pretty strait truck. Lived all or most of its life in Austin, Texas. It is a long wheel base if wondering. Now, for the plans for this truck, I would like to daily drive this truck to school and back, going to the store, taking the girlfriend out to eat or some thing like that, driving to Austin to visit family, road trips, and all those nice things.
One more thing that I would love to do is convert it into a short bed. I have a 1969 short bed frame that I would use if I do the conversion. For the I would love to get original short bed bedsides instead of getting reproduction panel, got to have the history in the panels. Really don't want to cut the long be sides, they are to precious to do that to them. Future Plans:
