1st ever 68 frame off rebuild
This is not no special build but thought that I would share. Maybe somebody would get something out of it.
I have always like the 68 c10 step side since my day drove a new till about 83. He drove it so long the floor finally fell out and the lower back half of the cab rusted away. This is how my current build started out. I have been through 3 c10"s to get the correct parts and enough buildable parts to build one good one.

Re: 1st ever 68 frame off rebuild
That should be enough for today. By the way all this work is being done by self with limited tools and work space.
