Also depends on your climate too. Good products out there now that make these things won't corrode away like when they were built ![]()

Re: Project: UniqueOdyssey:'68C10-possibly one of the longest builds, unique stories.
Couple months ago stumbled upon some Old School billets! Ended up making a trade w/another good C10 dude. Before that, found some good tires guy was swapping out.
Perfect combo w/the stance! Old school, hot rod/muscle look. Check out those calipers peeking ![]() ![]() 212 series 17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear. A lot of time, but got them cleaned up, painted backsides. Polishing wheels sucks doesn't it..lol but worth the results. Toyo Proxes ST II - 255/60/17 front, 275/60/17 rear

Very nice truck and build. I am over in Star and also been working on a long term build. Good Luck!

Re: Project: UniqueOdyssey:'68C10-possibly one of the longest builds, unique stories.
Haven't updated my build thread in YEARS, because life happened again. Changed jobs, lost jobs, found another job, that pandemic thing happened, wife got cancer, I got covid, physical disability related health issues, medical bills, found out can't have kids due to her cancer battle and treatments. **** F CANCER!
But it's still a project truck, lots to do, working on a few things. Finishing up brake lines, driveshaft, rear bumper, hopefully custom exhaust in near future

Re: Project: UniqueOdyssey:'68C10-possibly one of the longest builds, unique stories.
^^^ What he said. Stay hopeful. I'd venture to guess most guys run into set backs but persistence will pay off. I recently have been able to spend time on my project after a couple year hiatus, and boy does it feel good to get that much closer to the goal.
