Got my ChubTubz in yesterday from Hart_Rod, these are really nice! Just need a little bodywork and then ready for paint!

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Glad to see you picked up another C10 Keith! I'm looking forward to following this build as much as the last one. It looks like you have a good start on it already.

![]() Thanks Duane, I pretty much have the entire truck stripped down at this point! Just need to pull the cab off the frame and as soon as my suspension parts come in I can start building the rolling chassis!

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I also picked up some buddy buckets off the parts board! They are in pretty good shape but I do plan to recover them! The cloth doesn't look nearly as good in person as it does in the picture

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Gotta love those buddy buckets!! I was very fortunate to find mine from Scott. They just fit the era of these trucks. Looks like your rollin right along.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Welcome back to the scene - this build will probably go much smoother. I know how the 5+ year builds drag out trying to make everything perfect and constantly changing your mind. That engine looks very nice, but I really liked how your other one started out as a BB build.
I feel your pain in all this, I just got divorced too - I was able to keep my truck, but lost the house!

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I've been waiting for this thread to come along, glad you were able to get another one! I'm excited to see the progress. Sorry to hear about the divorce, no one wants to have to go through that. But kudos to you for staying active and pulling yourself back up on your feet.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Thanks for following along Chris, I'm happy to be back
![]() Yeah I saw on your build about the drivetrain problems! Hopefully you get it figured out soon! I'm going to do a houndstooth cover! Undecided on color right now as I have to figure out what color I want to do the interior!

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
My Choppin Block front crossmember kit came in yesterday. Now all I have to do is get the cab off and I can start working on laying this chassis out

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Hey Keith, what made you choose the Choppin Block front crossmember instead of the Porterbuilt unit? Just curious.

Thanks, yeah the parts are starting to roll in now! This snow certainly didn't help me any! I need to take the cab off and now I'll have to wait for the snow to melt so I can move the cab out of the garage! Your always welcome to stop by, just let me know.
