68 project
I purchased a 68 c10 friday that I plan on doing a frame off. it is a little rough around the edges but I plan on changing from the farm truck it was used for into a rolling gem
 it has a 305 in it currently  which will be sold and replaced with undecided yet motor

Re: 68 project
ok I will give you more then one pic cause I have been running the roads of NC all day the first thing I brought home was a fleetside shortbed with the original paint still on it needs the wood floor replaced which I am a woodworker by trade so I am going to use cypress on the floor plus do some custom woodworking for the front of the bed
 Second I picked up a cab 15 minutes down the road in very good condition needs rockers and a little touch of care here and there but overall great for an original cab you all can take a guess at what I paid for each piece so I can see if I got a good deal or not The cab is getting dropped off tomorrow at my buddys body shop. He does frame off restorations and has an awesome talent |

Re: 68 project
the guy also gave me a dolly he had made to wheel the bed around which is very nice to have.
and also me and the wife got the stepside removed today as soon as I sell the motor we will be removing the cab and front clip so the frame can get sent to the sandblaster

Re: 68 project
Are you going back 68? I have an excellent pair of 68 fenders I'd be willing to trade if those are decent 67's

Re: 68 project
Haven't worked on this in 6 years... ready to get done with it, just ordered my lowering springs, my tank relocation kit is on the way and just bought an exhaust system for it. Ready to get this frame rolling and start rebuilding the 327
