Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
Hey all,
I am a 26 year old father of one, been married for 3 years and am from St. Croix Falls, WI. My grandfather just gave me a 67 or 68 C10. He doesnt remember which year it is, and I have yet to see it. The 67-72 has always been my favorite generation of Chevy truck. My plan is just to get the truck driveable and have some fun with it for a year or three, then do a frame off. I have other projects I am working on now, and dont need to get too distracted with this truck. Plus, I dont want to do the frame off until we have a house of our own. Right now my projects either happen in my business shop, or at a buddies house. |

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
thanks all! I got some pix of the truck emailed to me tonight. Its sitting in the woods sank into the ground and pretty rusty. Its definately a 67, and there is a spare front clip, cab, and box from a 68 also there. Judging from the pix, there maybe a few salvagable parts between the two, but not much. All I really get is a frame with some spare parts.

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
Welcome ..
Given the starting point -- instead of a "frame off" you might just want to leap right into a "frame up" and build the truck from the inside out.

Welcome! I could just about throw a rock and land it in St. Croix Falls from the end of my driveway.

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
Yeah, its pretty much a "frame up" instead of the frame off like panhandler said. Also, its a small window 67, which I dont like. Teh 68 front end is sunk into the ground pretty bad, so I doubt highly that its any good, and the roof is all dented in. Oh well, cant complain for free right?
It gives me a foundation to start building from if nothing else. I am supposed to be getting more pix of the 67(blue) tonight. I asked for some shots of the doors, fenders, rockers etc.

You are thinking of another truck like mine in town. There is a two wheel drive truck with the same paint as mine. The first day I saw it I was in my Escort and just about gave myself whiplash thinking somebody was driving away in my truck.

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
ahh. Yeah, the one I am thinking about is a 2wd and has a spare tire in the box right behind the driver. My buddy who lives over here also just got his hands on a 69 LWB. He is doing a cab off right now. We have one more buddy who is desperately searching for a 67-72. We'll have a small fleet of these things around here!

Re: Hello from Minnesota/Wisconsin
Welcome to the board from West Tennessee. Looks like you're wise to wait on these two until you can focus on them. I've started with a lot less and they turned out alright. Good luck.
