Starting on this 60 C10 SWB, 235 4 speed truck. California truck originally, still has it's fair share of rust. This is the 10th 60-66 I've owned, just can't leave these alone !

Nice truck! Plans?

Not sure yet, truck is pretty much original, only update is an alternator replacing the generator. Even has the original wheels with the hubcap clips still intact. Leaning towards a V8/auto, ps,pb update, but the truck mechanically right now is very good, and just don't see them original very much anymore. I'll fix the rust and dings and see what direction to go then.

Yep, you don't see them original much anymore. T5 would be cool behind that 6 banger or 283/auto would be cool imop. An original engine for that year and wouldn't be as common as a 350. Anyhow....have fun with it!

That looks like a decent truck to work with.

I really like the seat......I'm a big fan of houndstooth
