Re: '68 c10 build
Truck made the trip without issue. We also brought another car with us. This one is a ‘54 Olds 98 Starfire Covertible. It has a 6.0 ls, bagged suspension, Ron Mangus Interior. Neat car.

Re: '68 c10 build
Thank you. The shop is working on a few cars right now but no c10s. I think my dad and I are going to do a 68 Camaro on the side to sell like we did this one.

Thanks! The youtube Video was kind of cool. I have no idea how it happened but all the pics were taken from this build thread.

Re: '68 c10 build
I got to see the truck a few weeks ago at Goodguys in Del Mar. The new owner seemed very happy with the truck and even made a few tweaks to make it his own. The most noticeable change was the new interior. He changed it to black and had an upholstery shop do a custom cover for the seat.

Re: '68 c10 build
Just to update this thread. I got word the new owners won an award this past weekend at Goodguys in Del Mar. The award was "Chevy Truck Pick" by LMC. Made me miss it but I'm happy for them.

Re: '68 c10 build
I thought this was a pretty cool picture. I'm sure he's thinking, "they should have used my wheels."

Re: '68 c10 build
Beautiful Truck. Question: I've never done Vintage Air before. What's the Hot tip on getting the lines out the fan hole? Does it work? no sweat/leaks inside? I'm having a Custom "GMC" Panel made for the entire Pass side and Man, I'd like to keep it clean! Any help is appreciated!

Re: '68 c10 build
You used stock control arms, any problems with front end alignment? Also, can conventional gauges be used with a modern engine? I'm new, be gentle.
