1968 C10 --> Daily Driver resto

[mccormick]

I picked up a 1968 C10 last spring for cheap with the intentions of using it as a daily driver for summer then tearing into the rust over winter to learn how to do some basic bodywork. I've got a couple nicer rigs that I wouldn't mind restoring in the future but didn't have the balls to cut into so I found this project!



Got it for probably way less money than I should have but same old story of an old guy owning it that wanted to restore it but couldn't get it running. Needed a carb rebuild and a brake job according to him which turned into me pulling the in line fuel filter out and putting brake fluid in the truck.. Runs and drives awesome.

250ci 6 cylinder with powerglide tranny. I believe the truck is all original aside from a paint job at some point. I'll have to dig deeper and check the build sheet and numbers on the truck but my energy has gone elsewhere with the project so far. I'll post some pics of the rust repair I've been doing so far.. Starting with the floor/rocker/cab corner/door on the passenger side because if I screw up I won't be walking up to the ****ty work every time I drive it haha.

Feel free to chime in if you have advice or questions, I'm just learning as I go and by no means a weapon of a mechanic or body man at this point in my life. I learn lots from this forum, YouTube and my old man and uncle.

Cheers!
