Our 69 C10-pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally got a few pics... We got her for free about 2 months ago from my brother. She doesn't run cause my nephew switched the battery cables, fried the wiring and then cut it all out.

She needs a ton of work, but has been a fun project for us!

How we brought her home:

The interior:

The 350:

We've done some work on both the interior and the engine since these were taken. I'll post some updated ones later.

Actually looks like a good solid project. Sure is more rustfree then mine cab wise. Hope you have fun building it and make sure to take lots of pictures

sounds like a real smart nephew

but maybe it was for the better, sense now you have the truck and its in better hands, painless wiring kits arnt very expensive anyway

Looks like its good enough to be fun to fix without going through to much trouble... and for free. Isn't much any of us could say about that.

Thanks. The motor was been rebuilt a few years ago. The only 'monkeys' in there changing and adding parts now is us!
