Re: 1969 Short Wide
That's awesome Mike! How's it running? My 1500 4x4 is right at 200k and still rocks. I see about 18mpg city or highway and I'm no light foot either.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I hear you. Trust me, With lower fuel prices and warmer weather ahead, I plan on driving it often.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Hey Mike, nice to see you enjoying this beauty. I'm jealous. How is the gas filler working out, does it fill up easily and what about gas spilling back out?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Chip, I would drive mine every day if it wasn't such as hassle. I think one day I'll build a beater/shop truck just so I can. Fact is, I have so much time tied up in the paint, I'd like to keep it nice. So selective weather days, selective parking, etc. is the norm.
![]() Not really sure what that's about but thanks for stopping by. Quote:
Overall, I'm fine with taking a little longer to fill up. It usually means a fellow will have time to come over and talk to me about it. ![]() |

And why you can't buy a nice straight original paint short wheelbase C10 for under $10k. But I would love to own your truck.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
My wife and I took the truck out for a nice long Sunday drive yesterday. About 155 miles round trip.
The wind was howling out of the North so the way down was pretty quiet, the way back we had some nice wind noise. Anyway, the engine performed flawlessly, even had to jump on it a few times to pass slow cars on a 2 lane highway coming home. It got warm enough I had to use the Vintage Air a little too. It's nice to have heat and air ![]() It was a really nice drive. I will be driving it to work some this week too. Supposed to be nice weather this week. Here's a few pictures we shot at Arbuckle lake: ![]() ![]() |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Pictures don't do Mike's ride justices.... As good as it looks in the pictures, it looks even better in person.
