Hello from Hillsboro Oregon, 68 C10
Hello! Been lurking as a guest for awhile as I built my truck and finally decided to sign up. This is my 68 C10 than my grandfather and I fully restored in his shop. It was a clean cab with a pretty roached long box, so shortened the truck and bought a new short box. All the body work was done by us and my grandfather suited up and painted the truck. The goal of the truck was to build it as a matching twin to my 68 Camaro that was my first car and still have.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I also made this video of the full restoration of the truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR7B-zMR53M Current project is working on putting the pieces together to swap the bench seat out for a 67-72 bucket seat and console setup.

Welcome! Y'all knocked that one out of the park! I love the similarities yet differences between the two

Re: Hello from Hillsboro Oregon, 68 C10
Welcome! Never thought I would like the looks of redlines with rallys on a truck, but that thing looks great. Very cool that you built it with your grandpa.
