Re: My 68 c10
well today my dad asked me would i rather make sure the truck is running fine and not put in the new intake carburetor and 700r4 in right now and just do my body work i chose to do that before doing my body work.
so the plans on a 67 are on hold until "crooked" get a tune up =]] |

Re: My 68 c10
You are moving right along......It's cool that your dad is not doing it for you. I have a 20 year old son and I have built him already two vehicles so I am done, if he wants it he has to build them himself, I am letting him bang his head beforeI bail him out.
Love what you have already done with it.... ![]()

Re: My 68 c10
Hey, I love the way the truck is coming along!! Looks great. I have a quick question. What kind of lowering set up did you use on the truck? I have a stock 72 LWB and I want the ride height to look just like yours. Can you tell me what you did to achieve that look? Also, where did you get your 700r4? I picked up a used one that was rebuilt and I have had nothing but problems with it. I paid 750 for it. I am wishing I saved some more and purchased a brand new one. Can you tell me where you picked up yours? thanks a ton.. keep up the good work. Like you I started working on old trucks with my dad, 46 chevy truck, now I am into one of my own. Still learning too...
