Ol' Blue As the Wife calls it.
I have been a truck owner since I was 16 years old ranging from my first 67 f100 to the current 69 C10. There was a time when I got divorced that i was without my truck (wife got it and i got the kids, sometimes I wonder who got the short end). I had a 9 passenger Ram Van with 360K miles on it and I traded it for a 69 C10 w/43k miles on it. I have been working on it ever since. Here are some of the pictures I have taken of it.

Re: Ol' Blue As the Wife calls it.
The engine was a 91 marine crate engine that was sitting on the shelf at work so i added TPI to it. So far I have had two different doner vehicles and the drive line is as follows.
350 TPI 4-Speed w/granny 5 lug disc front and rear lowered 3½" front 5" rear Power steering, brakes, power windows, cruise, tilt, A/C, Am/FM Cassette, full guage package inc tach. It is painted PPG metal flake blue to match the blue powdercoated frame and parts. All I have left to do is paint the bed, hood and install glass all around. |

Re: Ol' Blue As the Wife calls it.
Did you have any issues with your parking brake with your discs? What kind of rear calipers?
