This is my newly inherited 1976 C-10. My Dad bought this new in late '75 & has had it ever since. He daily drove it for many years then about 10 years ago he did a resto & used it more for shows & cruise nights.
He recently came down with a medical condition that doesn’t allow him to drive anymore so I have inherited it a little early.
I am very excited about getting the truck since I have grown up in & around the truck… (he’s had this truck longer than I’ve been around).
I have been trying to talk my Dad out of the truck since I was about 14.

Below is how the truck was when he quit showing it a year or so ago.
He did a full resto of the truck himself about 10 years ago. He did everything (including paint & body) except the interior himself.

It has all original sheet metal, original trim (polished out), original motor & trans (350 w/ 350 turbo) & still has just 83K miles on it.
The motor was gone thru when he restored it & has a later model surpentine setup on it.

It's lowered down about 6/8 with Western Chassis parts.

I am planning on giving the truck a quick update so I can enjoy it & take it to some show & cruise nights this year.
I am going to change the interior, side mirrors, & wheels. I also am going to do something different under the hood.

Then I plan to do a full build in the future.
