Found some old pics of my first '68 C10
So I was going thru some pictures and found some of my very first C10 truck. It was a '68 long bed, like my current one. Should have never sold it. It was built before the day of the Internet and digital cameras. I finally scanned these in and thought I would share them. Man things have changed. I had dropped A-arms because no one made '67-'72 drop spindles. Early Classics was a basically brand new company. Wow do I feel old...
Enjoy 2.5"/4" drop, 15x8.5 wheels I got at the junk yard with 275/60-15 tires all around. The rear end was the stock '68 with custom 5 lug axles. ![]() Toyota Supra seats ![]() Dakota Digital dash, interior dash, pillars, headliner and door panel done in grey tweed. ![]() Old engine out and cleaning the firewall and frame. ![]() Rattle can painted. ![]() SoLow dropped A-arms ![]() Front end back together, converting to power steering too. ![]() Crate engine with some dress up goodies. Also put in a Bowtie Overdrives 700R4. ![]() Shaving the trim. Thinking back, shouldn't have done it. I did french in a power antenna where the stock filler was and a flush fuel door in the bed. My first real welding projects. ![]() Should have kept that truck... Well the current one will be much better having learned so much in 15 years.

Re: Found some old pics of my first '68 C10
ahh brings back memories. Things we did before internet and digital cameras. I only found one picture of mine I built back in the mid 90s. Mostly junk yard parts, 4wd shops, and piles of catalogs. Everything was done with a tape measure and will 73-87 parts fit?
