Thanks its my 3rd 60's c10 my first fell victem to a lady cuttin accross the road in a 2010 volvo only the second day driving it after putting a new motor in, the second was way to rusted out, so i picked this up from the original owner with only 93,000 miles on a 327 and powerglide for 2K and proceeded to slowly upgrade, unfortunatly it has been sitting since the volvo lady sued me last year for $45k but its summer and im putting it back on the road

No offense taken, I liked it both ways. In fact I'm not sure it wouldn't look better with dark metallic gray spokes. My enthusiasm goes in cycles, so when I get bored with the way it looks now I might try that next! If I had painted the truck gloss black I probably would have left the spokes cast iron gray, but I thought they looked too washed out with the satin black body.

truck i seen when i was drivin to the krispy kreme today. sorry bout the cell phone picture.

That’s an incredible happy ending. Most stolen truck stories don’t end so well for whoever acquired the vehicle. Nice of the guy to be so cooperative.

My uncle got it from a coworker who stole it.He didnt tell my uncle it was stolen.Then i traded a dog kennell to my uncle for it.The original owner knew the guy who stole it off him.He didnt want to press charges against him!

Holy $hit......
It sure sounds like it was meant to be..
What a community.........That special needs truck sure did work it's way through hell to find ya'. You're hitched for life.
I like the dog kennel part too.
That's a great find. Can't wait to see what you do to it.
That might beat 'em all when it comes to " How did you find your truck..."
Ok.........I'll start the thread if someone in Administration will move
Richards'72's post to the top.............

New to the site but here is my 66. I just picked it up from Arkansas, spotted it on EBAY. It has a 283 with a 3 speed.

Just put dual exhaust and ww's on it yesterday. I need to start looking at drop options now. Great site, sure is no shortage of ideas and info here. Thanks

Looks like that poor thing has been there for a while. Talk about rode hard and put away wet. It looks like the front bumper might be the only part worth salvaging.

Here's my old truck. The beat up orange pic is from when I owned it last year, and the green-gold is what my buddy turned it into. He also re-did the interior, when I had it, it had torn up black buckets and looked rough. Looks like I sent it to the right guy!

Getting a 66 longbed, SBW, with a 69 396/th400 now. Looking forward to being back in one of these trucks again!

I love the look of those trucks. what rim and tire combo are you running? i love the size of those WW's. not too big and not too small. kind of like a good sat. night at the bar.

I think they are just the standard 15x8 stock steel wheels. The tires are BF Goodrich 235/60 up front and 255/60 out back, i think. Used to be raised white letter tires that have been cut, the WW is maybe 1.5 inches. Wheels painted black with trim rings and bullet push through caps and bullet chrome lug nuts.






But here's the truck I just got that I mentioned in my last post.

Custom mix, one off color. It's a crazy color and finish too, completely different tones and color in different lighting, sometimes it's mustardy, sometimes it straight-up green. The metallic really shows in the sun for a satin paint.

Sorry, that last message was for hornet 53.

[ratty 46]

No shame in your rendition hornet ... I like the worn, driven all the time look. Looks like all the hard work was already done to me.

Good luck on the new project.

Yeah, I liked it too, but it needed some help, and I couldn't come up with the time nor the ambition to do what was needed. All the credit goes to Sick Industries for the original build and my buddy for the recent refresh and reimagining. I was just the caretaker who owned and drove it in between 2 talented dudes.

[ratty 46]

Can't say I haven't been in your shoes ...
