That will be amazing, I am sure! I know I'm looking forward to that day with great anticipation. I hope it goes well for you

I believe it will be worth the wait .

Alright so it took me a few days longer to pull the truck out of the back yard but it's finally out and it's been a blast driving it around the neighborhood the last few days.

Looks great ,what's the story on the other one its with ?

I just picked that up about a month ago, it's a '67 k-10 with a 307 and three on the tree. Not really sure what I'm going to do with it yet, just couldn't pass it up.

Okay guys I know it's been awhile but I have been working on a lot of small things on the truck. Got all the bugs worked out of the turn signals, door glass installed, exhaust welded up with new hangers and have it all fine tuned and running great. Over the last week or so I've been able to really take the truck out and put so miles on it but my brakes suck. I'm experiencing a really soft pedal, where the brakes won't grab till the pedal is to the floor. I've spent hours bleeding the brakes and have no more air bubbles coming out. I've also installed a new master cylinder and wheel cylinders. Haven't found anything leaking and my fluid level stays the same. Any help would be great, I really don't feel safe driving it the way it is now.

Finally was able to paint the hood this morning. Should be able to get it on the truck next weekend.

Well spent the day putting the bed back on the truck. For now I'm going to strip the paint off the bed and paint it black. Eventually I want to build an all aluminum bed with a wood top and a toolbox on each side of the bed in front of the rear axle.

Finally got the hood on the truck. It really ties the truck together making it look complete.

That looks great!

Well it's been a little while but I actually just moved to Cleveland, Ohio for school and unfortunately had to leave the truck behind with my dad but it's in good hands and can't wait to get home and drive it again.

Well it’s been almost two years since I left for college and now I’m back and ready to continue work on the truck. Started today with washing and taking a few trips around the block.

[CRees]

Been doing a lot of little things to the truck, got the brakes working correctly, the mirrors on, and a new set of tires. Oh and painted the rims while I was at it too. I’ve been using as my daily driver for the last month or so.

Love it!! Beautiful truck. I’m on the hunt for a 68 c30. This is great inspiration.

Nice job!!

Finally got the tow hitch on and welded up, now I need to find something to tow to test it out.

Finally got all the carpet installed along with the radio from custom autosound. What a difference it makes. Next on the list is reupholstering the seats.
