gem in the woods
well i've been looking for a good starting base for a truck. found one the other day, in the woods!! it's a 69 c-10. no motor, the original block cracked from a lack of antifreeze. i'm looking for a donor motor. the truck comes with the protecto plate, original manual, invoice from the dealer.
i believe the orginal turbo 350 tranny is still there. ![]() ![]() rockers are in decent shape, drivers door has a little rust ![]() ![]() firewall is in good shape ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by robzilla; 02-03-2010 at 02:22 PM. |

Re: gem in the woods
i've got to wait a few weeks, till i can get it trailer'd home, to start working on. the plan is to get it up and running and then work on doing some stuff.
i'd like to drop the stance a few inches, eventually get some nice rim/tire combo... |

Re: gem in the woods
Good truck to start as base. Your lucky to have one with no big rust issues.

Re: gem in the woods
i think its been sitting in the woods for a few years. the guy bought if from the original owner with plans to restore but got busy with life.
i don't think he even registered the truck, so i believe i'll be the 2 (maybe 3rd) registered owner |

Re: gem in the woods
well after waiting almost 2 months for the truck home, i finally got it trailered home yesterday.
![]() looks like the po changed out the stereo, i'm glad it wasn't a cut and hack job ![]() the gun rack and headache rack are gonna be the first things to go ![]() gun rack anyone? figured the orginal seats would be all beat up since they were covered with seat covers, but underneath the covers, the orginal seat is in excellent shape ![]() |
