Project: Quality Time. 69 C10

I think its finally time to start a build thread. I have been lurking for years, and I am now ready to share my bonehead ideas and methods with the world.

In a previous life, I built a 65 GMC short fleet. I sold it in order to start a family, or more accurately I started a family and had to sell it to eat. Fast forward 8 years and my wife and I decided it was time we had another truck. This build will be a family affair, one where I can teach my wife and son how to wrench and weld.

The Truck: 1969 Chevrolet C10 longbed converted to shortbed.

I bought the truck from a friend of mine with the frame conversion already completed. I have a stepside bed for it, but I am not sure if I am going to use it. I love the look of fleets, but everyone is building fleet these days.

This is the truck when my friend bought it. Its long, ugly and hacked up.

This is the bed that I currently have. A little rough but workable.
