My 67 C10 Custom short bed build

[SoCoC10]

It's been a couple years now since I got involved in the 67-72 trucks and K5 Blazers. Like most of you, I looked for a V8,rust free short bed for under $8-10k but settled for a 67 V8, automatic, C20 for a 1/4 of the price. I did a build thread here documenting its conversion from a 8 lug,drum brake, 3/4 ton, long bed to a 5 lug, disc brake, 1/2 ton short bed. That thread was titled," C20 long bed farm truck to C10 short bed driver". After realizing what kind of time and money I had in to the truck I was forced to sell it shortly after its completion.

Since then I've come to the realization. That my favorite C10 of all is a 67 or 68 short bed fleet side in dark or medium blue with side mouldings and original paint with a good amount of patina. The perfect example of this truck would be "Hazel" by member n2billet.

So, I went to Kansas earlier this year and picked up this 67 C10 Custom long bed.
