The Old Duffer

[Riveted1]

I just stumbled across your build thread a couple of days ago and bookmarked it to read later. I did peek at some of the pictures first, though. Then today, I sat down to read my new Truckin' magazine and came across a truck that I thought looked familiar. Came back here to see, and sure enough, it's your truck! Congrats!

Now I have to go back and do some reading

Nice vid and even nicer soundin' I6.
Glad its all worked out.
Now I gotta run down to the store to find that magazine

Thanks man. Yeah they shot the truck before the motor was done or there'd have been some shots of it in there too.

First real road trip since the rebuild is friday. Another board member Boucher Racing & I are headed to Bowling Green KY on friday for the National Hot Rod Reunion. Im stoked but still nervous. The way my luck has been lately who knows what could happen. I'm gonna cross my fingers, look for a rabbits foot & say a few prayers that all goes off without a hitch.

[TJ's Chevy]

Love the sound of it! Good to now your back on the road.

Found a cool vintage 7up cooler when I went to the national hot rod reunion in KY last week then found one to match on ebay. decided I'd mount them in the bed next to my keg fuel tank. Bolted em down siliconed the bolt holes & put bathroom sink drains with the rubber plug to drain after use. Think it turned out neat. they're great storage for everyday driving & also perfect for loading up cold beers in.

The Old Duffer made his first real road trip on the new motor & I gotta say its runnin like a scalded dog! Very pleased & relieved. The National hot rod reunion in Bowling Green KY is an awesome show but needs some more 60's C10 action. Maybe next year some of y'all other fellas will join Boucher racing & I & help us represent.

Awsome to know that you made it there and back safely! It might be a little far a travel for me because I live in oregon.

Thanks man. Being a long bed I got plenty of room for some junk in the trunk.

[TJ's Chevy]

Like the 7 up boxes in the front of the bed! Look cool!

[mr andrerson]

im diggin the coolers... nice build man!!

[K5 Addiction]

Well I've been contemplating converting my LWB to a SWB for a loooong time. Found this short box today for a price I couldn't pass up. So looks like the decision has been made. Should be a good winter project.

[TJ's Chevy]

Great find! Those are hard to come by, at least were I live...

[1963c-10]

Great progress and glad the drive went with no issues.

[jcramsey]

SWB was the only way you could have made this truck any cooler than it already is! When does winter officially start in TN? Looking forward to seeing that swap finished. Also like the 7up coolers. I thought I had an old pepsi one lined up to to throw in the back of my truck, but the guy backed out of the trade.

[malo66]

Real nice mate. Engine compartment came up a treat.

[K5 Addiction]

Well I've been feeling some trepidation about cutting my frame & going all the way out with the shortbox conversion so my boy & fellow board member Boucher Racing did a quick Photochop of my rig Bagged and short boxed. What do yall think.
Long or short?

[Jmorales3181]

Just my .02 but I say short. I like them all but have
Always loved the shortbed myself. Definitely a nice truck either way.
