Father Daughter 1969 C/10 250 3spd

[Bakenaz]

Well, My daughter turned 16 in Dec. For the last 2 yrs she has been telling me how much she wants an "old Chevy truck". I gave her the typical parent speech about responsibility, getting a job for gas money, maintenance, improvements etc. but i would keep my eyes open for a 67-72 that a 16 yr old could afford. She is very motivated and a hard worker. She has no problem getting her hands dirty and learning. I found a rust free basic, no a/c, drum brakes, 69 on Craigslist and a deal was done for $800.00. Inline 6 did not run and he wasn't sure about the 3 speed saginaw. He threw in a rusty 305with a turbo 350, drive shafts and steering column with power steering gearbox. 305 block was shot needed .060 so scrapped it. I then turned my attn to the 6. New plugs, wires, carb rebuild, cap, thermostat housing, water outlet and a clean gas tank is all it needed to run. Replaced all gaskets and 3 u-joints. Then found new rust free long bed on cl for 200.00. We installed it, stripped the floor of the surface rust and armor bed lined it. Passed emissions, runs and shifts perfect. The project continues but its a great start and a lot of fun sharing with my daughter............just thought id share some pics.... and thank everyone for help and this great site
