New to the forum: 68 C10 SWB step side

New to the forum and wanted to include a couple pics of my 68 C10 and say hello to everyone. I bought it pretty much as you see (Alabama farm truck at one point I suspect) with an LS 5.3 swap. I will be getting a Vintage Air sure fit installed in a few weeks. The next main upgrade will be to work on the suspension. The P.O. pretty much just cut the springs to obtain the stance. Great info on the forum!!

Re: New to the forum: 68 C10 SWB step side

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Jason, the wheels are 18/20 Coys. For my taste there is a bit too much front end rake which I will hopefully address when I replace the cut springs with a proper 4/6 drop kit with new spindles.

Re: New to the forum: 68 C10 SWB step side

A couple more interior shots as requested. I take no responsibility for the arm rest placement. The P.O. put them there. This truck started out as a radio/armrest, rearview mirror delete judging from the few mismatched items.
