My 1968 Chevy C10 (Finally Works)

So FINALLY...
My truck is a 1968 Chevy C10 with a 350 2bbl motor. yes, she has gmc trim but is not a gmc. I also have a story with my truck too! My truck used to be owned by my landscaper since I was about 4 years old, and I can still remember that every summer that I saw him bring the truck out I always dreamed of owning it... many years later.. now im 16, I hear that he is deciding to sell the truck, and I ran all the way to his house (nearby)... and I bought my truck . It was like a dream come true for me and I cant wait to begin the restoration

By the way... Thank you Ekliptix and 68 Stepper for the help!!!

Wow, beautiful truck! Looks like your landscaper kept it in great shape! Doesn't look like it needs any restoration. Congratulations! Wonderful story too.

Haha thank you! Shes got a lot of rust around the edges of the roof, and the inside of the roof toward the front window needs to be completely replaced, its rotted out bad there. Shes got a little rust in other areas but that's the main problem. I need to do the frame-off restoration because I think theres some parts on the frame that need to be fixed, but I also want to get the truck as close to showroom condition as possible haha!
