Hello, I have just joined, looking forward to being a part of this group. Here is my Patina built 1969 c10. i actually won this truck as is on bringatrailer, I didn't build it.

1969 Chevrolet C10 Stepside pickup was refurbished and modified with work that involved mounting the body on a 1971 C10 short-bed frame as well as repairing the rocker panels and cab corners and applying clearcoat. Power is provided by a rebuilt 350ci V8 linked to a th350 transmission, 2500 stahl, and a Cold Case aluminum radiator along with dual electric fans, an Edelbrock carburetor, and a dual exhaust system with long-tube headers and Flowmaster mufflers. The chassis features QA1 adjustable coilovers and tubular control arms as well as power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and U.S. Mags 18″ alloy wheels. Inside, the bench seat is wrapped in blue vinyl and accompanied by an aftermarket arm-rest console and a chrome tilting steering column. The body wears worn blue paint with spots of primer and corrosion visible, and clearcoat was added over the finish. the truck originally had a long stepside bed and was converted to a short stepside bed when the replacement chassis was installed during the refurbishment, and the rocker panels and cab corners were replaced and refinished. The wood bed floor has been replaced with blue-finished planks and stainless runners, and a flush-mounted fuel filler for the relocated tank is mounted in the floor. The replacement chassis was sourced from a 1971 short-bed pickup and QA1 adjustable front coilovers and tubular control arms have been installed. The truck is equipped with power steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. U.S. Mags 18″ wheels are wrapped in 255/55 front and 275/60 rear Falken Ziex tires. The 350ci V8 was rebuilt and installed in 2022
