Starting of a complete restore of a 68 - 910 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

freeride4011 · 04-28-2008, 06:58 PM

Hey all,

I have always loved these old trucks.
I found this one on a farm, it has not left the farm for 12 years.
Finally got one going to restore back to orginial or very close to it.
I will have lots of questions in the future.

Very happy to find a board like this to help with the answers.

Very nice 4wd. Look like a very solid start for Alberta. Where about in Alberta Do you live? Mabey we could get together one time, show off ,and talk trucks. Are you going to the Red Deer swap meet this weekend?

Thats a bit far from Edmonton for me. But if I'm in the area I'll gladly give you a shout.

NICE WORK!! Did you powdercoat or paint the frame?

nasqar · 12-05-2010, 10:56 PM

Nice improvement bro! Please don't wait a couple more years to update us though.....we will be glued to see the results!

freeride4011 · 12-06-2010, 08:47 AM

Yes the frame was sand blasted and power coated.
The old girl is coming together as good or better then she was rolling out of the factory.

The box is done now (needs to be bolted to the frame)
Still needs a brake job, exhaust and interior rug installed as well.
She will be on the road come spring.

NOT A freeride that is for sure.
LOL

nasqar · 12-06-2010, 08:31 PM

Nothing worth having is free brother.....but the money we invest in these rigs will make these trux better than a new one we could buy. NO monthly payments and NO electronics (some of us) to frustrate us. Keep the momentum!

Vintage Windmills · 12-06-2010, 10:18 PM

Cant wait to see it with the box on!
