1968 C-10 Custom Frame

[LikeARock]

I am trying to get rid of 68 C-10. I began a full frame-off restoration on it a few years ago. The frame has been sand blasted and coated in a dark metallic grey. All suspension components have been blasted and coated in a midnight blue, which I had planned to paint the body when I was finished. I have a sway bar for the front end and I have added power steering from a 76Chevy pickup. The front suspension has 2.5" lowered spindles with 3" lowered coils, and new shocks. I started running new stainless steel brake lines, finished the rear brakes and most of the fron brake, excluding the section leading to the master cylinder. I have also upgraded to 5 lug disc brakes in the front. The rear suspension also has lowered coil spring from CCS.

The motor is a 283, as far as I know the lower end had been rebuilt shortly before I bought the truck. I replaced the heads with a pair of 1.94 fuelie heads, complete with a new valve job. It has an edelbrack torquer manifold with a 650 cfm holley (vacuum secondaries). It has some chrome dress up parts, headman headers, and thrush mufflers. When it was running it ran perfect, was pretty quick to!

I have converted the truck to a 5speed manual tranny, T5 from a camaro. A new custom driveshaft is installed. I do not know much about the rear end, the brakes are good and I haven't every had any problems with it.

As for the cab, it is destoyed - too much rust and a brialliant idea to make it a convertible. The bed is in okay shape. Have all other body parts: hood, brand new fenders in the box, brand new rocker panels in the box, brand new dash in the box, custom seats, 4-point harnesses. Have all original wiring, window glass, doors, handles...etc. Also have a ton of extra parts and misc parts.

Anyway, This has been my project since I was 16 and I have a lot of time invested and will only sell for a reasonable offer.

Excellent description and good pictures. If I could only own them all. For someone in your area looking for another project this would be a great one to try to buy.

It doens't offend me but some may comment on board rule to post a price on everything. So keep that in mind if your called to post one.

I assume its a long bed fleetside truck? (for a short one I might try to find a way to come get it!!)

I see your fairly new herer take care and welcome to the boards. I wish I had the 71 chevy pickup I had when I was 16 (1980).

Very nice, I bet that would fetch a pretty penny on e-Bay! Excellent work, too bad
you have to part with such a work of art.

Sorry about the price, but I am not sure what to even ask, if anyone is offended please give me your reasonable estimate

[GMC AMI]

I am going out on a limb here, I think it is worth 2500 easy. Too bad for me you are 3000 miles away. If I had this set up I would not want to see it roll on down the road.
After all that work it would seem like cutting off your own arm to let her go! I wish you the best of LUCK!

It looks as though you have done a great job with all the details. I do think that you need to respect Josh and this boards rules and post a price. After all you are selling something here at no cost to you. If you do not know what to ask you can post the pics on the Message board and ask "How Much is this worth, guys". Then come back here and post it with a price...if you are really serious about selling it. You must know how much all the powder work was and have some idea of what you'de let it go for. Not trying to flame you...just an idea with a little direction.
