New guy from NC - Father/Son project 1964 C10
New guy from NC here. I've been lurking for a week or so, but decided to go ahead and post up. I'm new to this site, but not new to vBulletin forums, as I usually join one for whatever I'm working on. On to the truck, since that's why we are all here...
I picked up a 1964 C10 with no engine or transmission about two weeks ago. I bought it as a project with my 9 year old, for him to drive when he gets to high school. I should be able to get it driving in the next 6 years! The body and frame are solid, with very little rust (surface rust doesn't count!), and it is reasonably straight. There are a few places in the sheet metal with some less than perfect repair work, but nothing that some replacement metal won't fix. The current plan is to replace suspension, do a rack and pinion conversion and disc brakes (probably going to just do a TCI bolt in on the front, and POL parts out back). It is absolutely getting an injected LS (probably an LQ4) for reliability and fuel economy. I'll decide what to do with paint and body once we get to that point. It's gonna be a lot of work, but the memories will be fantastic. On to the pics...
