Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
They aren’t bad. We will see how they hold up but for the price, it was worth a shot.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
He’s definitely getting excited. I am proud of him for sure. He’s a good kid.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Short day today. My son had his wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday and his momma wasn’t on board with him working today. I spent a few hours mounting and wiring the Dakota Digital speedometer converter. I still need to take it for a drive to program it, but as of now, all the gauges work.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
This morning they got the fenders, cowl panel and grille in paint. Hopefully this thing will look like a truck by this weekend.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
My son just sent me this picture and I thought I would throw it up here just because. I cannot wait to get this thing put back together......

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Another picture he sent. Both he and my nephew starting bodywork on their hoods today.

That’s so cool that it runs in the family.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Just got a couple pics from the guy I found to cut some new glass. Getting this done was actually a sigh of relief. Between coronavirus and the fact it was one piece, I was starting to get concerned I wouldn't be able to replace it. I definitely overpaid ($370) considering the whole kit with glass is $399 new. Unfortunately, I couldn't get anyone to answer the phone at the company that sells them.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Fenders, grille, and cowl panel are on. Also did one of those screens under the cowl panel. If you haven’t seen one of these, seems like money well spent to me.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Those screens do look slick. My dad put one on his 69 and I'm definitely planning to do the same. The truck looks fantastic by the way. Good work

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
I agree on the screen - keeps the trash out.
Looking good! You just need a hood now!

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
And a tailgate. And headlights. And door glass. And color sand and buff the bed sides. And color sand and buff the fenders. All kidding aside, probably 2-3 weeks left.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Agreed, it really does look good. Colors pop and everything else enhances that.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Thank you. I’m super excited. It’s coming together nicely. I’m really wanting to change the wheels now too.
