Careful now....My name is Dwayne and I have a truck simillar to the one he is leaning on and a '69 which is represented by the "Bling" around his neck. That is some funny chit tho!

Yes the shop is mine. It is 40' x 60' (not big enough) in the side yard. Its nice to be able to go out and work on a project and leave everything sitting and turn the lights off and lock the door. Beats the heck out of watching t.v.

Wideside72; don't dis-spare. Here is a photo that invokes sadness. Didn't seem so at the time but now does. The neighbors dog got his head caught in the passenger side light bezel. Of course the neighbors are rescue fire fighters an went after the radiator support with a Herst tool (jaws of life). bushy
By the way great photo of Mt. Shasta and that string of gems.

Just got done redoing my front gill and painting the inside of the engine bay. I know how much everyone likes pics, so here you go:

Painted the insert gloss black and buffed out the aluminum


I had just got done washing the truck, so there are a lot of spots and yes there are still some scratches, but for those of you who have done this, you know what a big pain it is.


and more

Hey guys, have been a member for a long time, but just learning to post pics, here is my 71 long bed i'm currently working on. have been looking at all the great trucks here! It is my DD so cant do frame off yet.

[NINERS1]

it has a 3.5- 5 drop with cpp spindles and coils, 402 stroked 350- 400 turbo, 12 bolt rear, 17" torque thrust 8" front and 10" rear, painless harness, wired my cargo light for a 3rd brake light. front sway bar. getting ready to rebuild front end and do brakes. Then all I have left is fix my transmission leak and paint and body!!!

[bushytlb]

Niners1: What brand is that steering wheel please? And that air filter is nice too. Can you give me a clue.Thanks bushy

[bushytlb]

Gonzo6869; How did you go about painting the engine bay? bushy

[NINERS1]

The steering wheel is just a cheap grant from oreillys, the air cleaner is a k&n xtreem air flo top, painted firewall & fenders when motor was out, and inner fenders are new,as is the core support, painted them in my garage! still need to do the underside of the hood and master cylinder.

Cant believe that i just sat here and looked thru all 113 pages. Havent been on this board in a few years. I was dying for a 67-72 a few years back as my first truck, but i settled for an 86 K10. That truck is long gone now and i think its safe to say i caught the bug again! Im graduating college in May and shortly thereafter i'll be on the lookout for a 67-68 4x4 to do up. Not that anyone cares... LOL
Anyway, those are some beautiful trucks, reason for every one of you guys to be proud.

[gonzo6869]

Very carefully, with a rattle can. It looks ok,way better then before though.

[Palf70Step]

Very nice start dex.. Welcome to the board!

[67Mach1]

I found this one and it's for sale. not sure if I like it or not. If I would buy it or not.

[cheyenne20]

New to the forum. Was gifted this amazing 71 cheyenne c20. Needs work but I have alot of plans for this truck.

I've been a member for a few months, here's my '69 C/10 I picked up a few months ago. It's pretty straight, one dent in the right rear bedside and the grille and front bumper are rough, otherwise only a little surface rust. It's been in Vegas since new.



It had been sitting for 23 years! Put a little gas down the carb, threw in a battery, put a little oil in the cylinders and the little 250 6 cylinder fired right up.

I've since rebuilt the carb, pulled the tank and cleaned it, replaced the fuel pickup, replaced the plugs and wires, and tuned up the distributor. It's running good now I need the tackle the brakes and replace the tires so I can get it smog tested and registered.

I wish the trucks here only had surface rust.

Great score! What are your plans once it is drivable? That looks like just the kinda truck I would drive as is. Is it a 3 on the tree?

Thanks. It is a 3 on the tree.

Plans are to just get it drivable for now and use it to commute the 4 miles each way to work. I don't know what it will evolve into, there are so many nice trucks on here giving me ideas I could easily get carried away. I've got an '84 C10 stuffed in the garage that I'm tearing into right now, but I found this and couldn't pass it up.
