Family Project 65 C10 SWB "Old Blue"

And so it begins. I got this old truck when I was 17. Drove it for quite a few years through college. It originally has a 283/th350 combo. Once the 283 wore out I put in a 305 from a Monte Carlo SS along with a 700r4 trans.

About 2 years ago I gave it away to a student in my church youth group to see what he could do with it. After 2 years of it sitting in their yard, his dad gave the ultimatum: start work on it or give it back. Teenager priorities being what they are (girls, xbox, sleep, girls, etc) he never got started on it and the truck was delivered back to my house by rollback a few weeks ago.

Backstory behind us, here are a few pics of the truck as delivered, along with a few shot of 4 of my 5 workers who will be helping out with the rebuild.






Current plans are to repair the brakes, replace tires and get the 283/700r4 combo in it and running since I already have the truck setup for it. Nothing like cruising on the highway in an old beater running 2000 rpms at 65... More to come!
