Because two blue trucks just isn't enough...

As some of you know, I'm nearing the finish line on my 68 GMC. My dad and I have had so much fun restoring his 64 and now my 68 that we had to get another project lined up. We had been watching for an interesting truck - anything from 1967-2014 and we came upon this one. The previous owner bought this truck in Arizona and put a lot of money and time into it, but ended up parking it for a year or so chasing other ventures and now decided to sell it at a loss.

It's a 1969 C10 LWB. Pretty low-option truck, but solid. It has very little rust, even less than my 68 did. It appears to be the factory paint. It's got the original 350 bored and stroked to 383 with Edelbrock heads, Weiand intake, Holley carb, roller rockers, ARP fasteners, and a nice serp drive system all backed up by a rebuilt TH400. He gave us all of the receipts for the parts and here's a list of the notable items: disc brakes all around, rear-mounted fuel tank, adjustable heated seats, power windows, new wiring harness, carpet, and gauges.

It runs pretty well, the carb just needs some tuning I think. I'm not excited about the repop fenders and chrome inner fenders, but no big deal. We don't have a definite plan for it yet, but I've been showing pictures of black C10's to my dad and I think he's on board with it. We know we want to convert to SWB and do the bodywork. We also need to get a different set of wheels and tires on it soon because the front tires rub pretty bad.
