1966 C10 Project Truck

[scoot_mcgrute]

One of the really awesome things that happened down at LS Fest was meeting Ronnie Wetch from C10 Talk and having him interview me for the podcast. I don't think I did too bad, definitely there are more things I would have talked about if I had a couple minutes to prepare but oh well. Give it a listen, my part starts a little after 41:30 on the 2019 LS Fest West podcast

Since we got back from LS Fest, the truck has kind of been on the back burner for other projects to get done around the house. I had been noticing the clutch pedal not feeling super awesome down in Vegas and during a couple trips to coffee with my fiance, I just didn't want to drive it much. I looked at it and noticed that the linkage had quite a bit of slop to it and I believe that is the reason why it broke on the road course. I sent a message to CaptainFab to see if he had experienced this before and to my surprise, a new kit was sent out the next day. I was not expecting that at all, he has been super great helping me out with this. I got the new linkage on and have been driving the truck all week and the clutch is feeling great still! The clutch has always been an issue for me but I feel like I'm ironing out all the details finally and can enjoy the truck more and more.

I drove up to Olympia on Saturday for a truck show called C10s on the Capital, it was about a 250 mile round trip for me. I was nervous about the truck making the drive but it performed flawlessly and managed to pull 18MPG at speeds between 75 and 80 so I'm not complaining at all! This show was brand new and I think they had about 100-150 trucks show up of all different years and styles but everyone was super awesome. Here are a few pictures of the day

My fiance and I drove up with John and his wife, super awesome people with a really cool truck!


Some others that were going to a show as well


Pit stop


Made it! I had a great time, a couple friends of mine were there that I don't get to see at all so it was really cool checking out their trucks and catching up with them. Truck people are awesome!


This was my favorite truck there, I have been following him online so getting to see it and talking to him was really cool


His tow rig. I have an unreasonable amount of want for both of his trucks...

I also got to see Kelvin's truck too, I didn't get a picture of it but looking at his truck got me thinking about what my truck may have looked like when it was new, he did a really great job with his.

I was at the C10's on the Capital as well.

Had my 62 SWB there....I'm local to Olympia so pretty short trip for me.

There was a good turn out, lotta nice trucks and weather was just right.

Hope it turns into an annual event.

Well, after some thought and consideration, I have decided to post the old girl for sale. She's been an awesome truck and I know that the next owner will enjoy it as much as I have!
