my 67 c10 project build thread ,

[19673ontree]

I see a lot of you guy's put all your pics in one thread so I guess I'll start mine here ,
story ,,,,,,,,,,started with a 1967 c10 short fleet that was a good solid truck but was used and abused , never had been painted though , I am building it back completly stock with a few upgrade's inside , going to change it from the light green to black that is the only mod ,
paid $4000 got a new radiator support from tri plus with the truck and also two new inner fender's and a cab rubber kit with all the window rubber seal's
hear is a quick recap , I have done a lot to it since last fall
new exhaust , new tire's , new brake's and line's , refreshed the engine with new lifter's and rocker arm's , put on new rocker panel's and part of the cab corner's , and as of right now I am priming and blocking the cab and front end , haven't started on the bed yet as my garage is small will fix the bed and paint it seperate ,,

That was real clean truck to start with. Can not wait to see it finished.

Looking good so far. Keep the pics coming.

I am hoping to get the cab and front end all blocked out within the next two week's , I will paint the interior and under the hood and door jamb's then paint the whole cab and front next ,
one thing I have noticed and it's more evident on 67's is the panel fit was off JUST A LITTLE BIT from the factory , I only have one gap that I don't like and it's the hood to fender gap , the hood is not curved exactly the same as the fender's , but I am gonna leave it , I can't work on it forever , once I get it straight it's gettin paint !

It sure makes it easier starting out with a solid truck doesn't it?

[19673ontree]

yes starting with a soilid truck is the way to go , I know some of the rougher one's need fixed and are bought cheap and even are obtained free sometime's but I bit the bullet and just got a solid one this time and I plan for this one to be my only classic truck for many many year's

[19673ontree]

got the truck cab and front painted , plenty of the peel here , will wet sand and buff this week !! then it's on to the bed ,,

you have a very nice truck

Normally I'd be sad you went away from the green, but nothing beats black on a straight body.

[GREASEMONKEY72]

damn that truck looks beautiful already with the black paint and white grill pieces and black steelies with the white hupcaps and i know the white bumpers will sit perfect with the rest of it, i LOVE it already and cant wait to see it finished

dont get me wrong, the truck looks great... but I really liked the color before alot better

[19673ontree]

yea I was at a spot between a rock and a hard place to about the color , you see I wanted a 1967 C10 black with red interior for a lot of year's , oh yea and I wanted an all original close to rust free truck to work with , so here I found this one last fall that was just what I wanted all but the color ,
so ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it's black !
that's what happened , (LOL)
one more thing about black if you drive a vehicle much like I do is that you can spot repair very easy (IT WILL ALWAYS MATCH) and it's CHEAP way cheaper than color's are , the green is nice though

Good looking start.
