My '63 C10 "I'd rather be driving" Project

[Johnny_Lamebridge]

I went to a really cool car show today, Powerfest in downtown Brantford Ontario. There were lots of nice cars parked in the closed off streets, and a display of race cars in a square. The highlight was when they fired up some of the racers, including the Paton Racing Top Fuel dragster. Todd Paton drives it, and they race at some NHRA national events in the US. The team has been based in nearby Paris Ontario for many years. Todd's dad & team owner, Barry Paton raced funny cars in the 70's & '80's.

There were three 60-66 C10's in attendance. I spoke to the owner of the red '62. He got rid of the torsion bars, and swapped in front suspension and rear axle from a 1986 C10. All three trucks were very nice.
