Platinum00 Build thred - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Platinum00 · 10-14-2016, 03:57 PM

Hello everyone my name is Richard I am Active Duty Air Force. We just recently moved back to the US. I have been on here for a while but have never started my build thread so here it is. I love these trucks. I had one in high school I bought is when I was 14 for $300 it was a 1971 C20, I spend a few years restoring it before I was able to drive (blue and White one). Now that we are back state side I wanted another one. So I picked up this 1967, 2 owner A/C truck it had been sitting 10 years 7 in Oklahoma. The man I purchased it from was a medically retired Senior Master Sargent who had a heart attack. He said they owned it since 1979 and they called it the Red Baron. He was excited I was going to restore it so I have been keeping them up-to-date with the build. However, when I returned for Africa about 6 months ago I found out he had passed away while I was gone. We decided to put his name on the glove box you will see it in some of the photos. Thanks for checking it out let me know what you guys think.

This it my truck from high school next post I will start the new truck.

OK day one pictures for you guys of the 67 C10

It is was pretty rough, temp gauge didn't work the whole way home and it was puking coolant at the gas station, the fun of the oldies right.

The inside is trashed and I wont tell you what was in the ash tray!

Platinum00 · 10-14-2016, 04:05 PM

Truck has a 305 in it out of a 84 Caprice and a TH400. I found rags stuffed in the fire wall. Spark plugs in the AC lines, taped over. Wire nuts packing tape and all kinds of un safe wiring.

That can be a nice truck just like any. It's a '68 and that's a great start! C'mon, what was in the ash tray??

Here ya go.. Your paint looks to be in better shape, and there are a couple differences. I have small rear window, and mine has the bright red interior with buddy buckets. But at first glance though...

Aaaannnd it won't let me. Let me see if photobucket helps at all. Trying to do this from my phone.

Here you go... Finally! And it's sideways. Oh well.
