Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
What's up fellas, I'm still around but as a pop said I have gone through some pretty crazy life changes over the past 6 months or so. I lost my job back in April but I have since started up a General Contracting business that seems to be doing really well. I have been in Information Technology for over 20 years. .. but I have always really enjoyed home improvement type projects too. So I figured why not?? So far I'm really loving it. A paycheck is one thing, but being happy is another. On my days off from IT I was always working on something at the house so it basically feels like I'm on vacation all the time now.
The truck is looking good. It is super straight even in the pre sealer stage. I haven't seen it in a couple weeks but man the color is about to start flying ! I can't wait. I'm going to have to sell the truck once it's finished up. If you know someone in the market for one give me a shout. It will be a stunner, no doubt. It will hit eBay in the spring 2017. Stay tuned..

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Hey Chad, glad to see things worked out for you with the job, but hate to see you sell this truck when you get it finished... Somebody will defiantly end up with a sweet ride, that's for sure!!!

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Tried to flip it over but it ain't working. (On my cell right now..not sure what's up with it) oh well.
Neat old truck. 350 4spd. Super clean.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
The bed and tailgate are at Pops house, the cowl is still at the bodyshop. He found a run in the clear and wanted to work on it some more.
When we were hauling it back to my house, the track bar was just hanging loose on the rear end housing, not tightened. It must have worked it's way loose cause I heard something dragging and pulled over. About half the end was worn off of it. I drug it maybe 2 miles..  Also, one of my Magnaflows fell off. I thought I had the clamps tight, but .. yeah. Gone. I was planning to change to the can type anyway and use the MF on my flatbed but I guess that will need to wait. More pics coming very soon. I'll keep you guys updated.
