Used to be green! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is my 69 c10. It was a daily driver and I was irritated by the old wiring and rust starting. It didn't start half the time due to old wires. I had a few different motors in it and nothing would make me happy. So I decided to rip it apart. Which is an understatement. This is the first weekend in the garage on the project. I travel for work on the weekends and work all weekdays so progress will be slow.

Boy you don't mess around! Jump right into it. Nice work. Can't wait to see it completed!

tcb-1 · 03-28-2010, 10:20 PM

good night!!! you DID jump right in there, with both feet may I add!!! what's you plans for the firewall?

gcburdic · 03-29-2010, 09:43 PM

Hey Man....I stopped by and looked at your truck a few months back when you had it up for sale on Craigslist!!!....I live right across the bridge from you....Let me know if you need any help....what's your plans??....

72BlckButy · 03-29-2010, 09:46 PM

Wow... this will be one heck of a build.

Hey Geoff! You are actually who told me about this site. It sparked some interest in me. I couldn't get what I wanted for the truck. So I decided to tear into it. I appreciate the offer to help. I may take you up on that sometime. I'm not real set on any plans yet. My idea so far is a very dependable original daily driver. I want it to be my primary source of transportation when i'm done. I am thinking pretty seriously about putting an ls motor with a 4l60e in it. 30 gallon fuel cell in back. I want it a two tone black and silver with a bright green stripe about 1/8 inch wide between the two. And black wheels with an aluminum lip. That's about it for now.

threeonthetree · 03-30-2010, 09:22 PM

Looks great. What are your plans to the firewall? Ic someone asked no answer. You arn't screwing around tho!!!
Motor plans sound pretty sick and dependable for sure.
I like the color idea...idk about the green strip tho.
What kinda motors have you had in it b4?

gcburdic · 03-30-2010, 09:26 PM

Well...

home!!!....Glad you made it on here....I got alot to learn with body work and such, but I can read the heck out of manuals and hold and fetch wrenches

....Let me know how I can help...I love hanging around this place.....you mention black wheels w/ aluminum lip...may I suggest the Boss 338's....the guys over in this thread have worked a heck of a deal on these....check'em out!!!...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=393027
Also, not sure if you''ll be around because of your job, but there's a regional meet in Salisbury May 8th...here's that thread....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s.......you're more than welcome to cruise with me there if you're around!!!

I also want to build a 72 DD w/ a 5.3L and 4l60e....so I definitely want to be around when you install that!!!

VA72C10 · 03-30-2010, 09:44 PM

Looks like a good start and I like the paint schemes.

doonbuggy12 · 03-31-2010, 11:59 AM

Sorry I didn't comment on the firewall. I don't have too much for plans for it yet. I'll build my own for sure but I don't know how I want it exactly yet. I just wanted that cowl gone. And I want a nice flat smooth firewall with only the holes that I want where I want them. I am up for ideas from any of you guys. That's why i'm here. I'm probably a little over my head already but i'll learn something along the way. Which is why i'm doing it. By the way 3onthetree. I'm from wisconsin too. Just living down here now for work.

Cool where about?
I like clean firewalls.
