My C10 farm - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GR8-68** · 07-07-2016, 08:01 PM

I think I have a start to my C10 farm

I ha a 67, 68, 69 and 70 here now, now to get my 71 and 72

Now if I can just convince the wife that its a good thing.

Dave in Ozark · 07-07-2016, 08:03 PM

Do you plant those in the spring or fall?

**GR8-68** · 07-07-2016, 08:41 PM

In the spring so I can get a early harvest

**seafoam68** · 07-07-2016, 09:32 PM

Fertilize with 10w40?

firedemon · 07-07-2016, 09:37 PM

ill take a 67 shortbed at harvest

**GR8-68** · 07-07-2016, 09:40 PM

I hope more sprout up soon

67's would be great
Might need to spray them with more WD40

**SoCoC10** · 07-07-2016, 11:00 PM

So if you keep spraying a short bed with WD40 does it mature into a long bed?

toolboxchev · 07-07-2016, 11:55 PM

Fertilizer requires something more simple. Straight up 30W! These things grow simply my good man!

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2016, 07:59 AM

Well, I officially have the fever I may just be adding the 72 to the farm today. I will be back with a further update

midniteblues · 07-09-2016, 12:33 PM

These trucks will grow into completeness by emptying your pockets,lots of transplanted parts and many long days and nites cultivating them.

If this doesn't happen then they grow into great piles of rust and make iron rich soil.

Cool deal my wife don't like my yard looking like a jy so I keep what i can in the basement

63chevyll · 07-09-2016, 12:44 PM

I always found they grow better when others are planted next to them. Even think about mixing up the vegetation. Like adding a 60-66 or they will really blossom when a 55-59 sets in

This is my farm after a year of fertilizer.

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2016, 04:36 PM

Someone is following me home

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2016, 10:24 PM

Well I added to my collection today.

Fresh from the back of the mechanics yard

A super clean interior

The main reason I even bought it

Do any of you Texans recognize this place ?

Do you think I can straighten this bumper out ? ( seriously )

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2016, 10:30 PM

Finally tires that will roll

Do you think sears would honor this battery still ?

Those were the days

The inside gutted out and cleaned up not to bad I have seen worse

Some asshat chopped up the center hump

A bit of rust at the roof line

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2016, 10:32 PM

It looks better with the grille in place and the hood on it, says the wife

Claen the bed out tomorrow only about 50 lbs of leaves

I'm not sure how rare but definitely unusual. The truck would have had a blue plaid seat. It also has the YG8 Promo package.

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2016, 11:39 PM

No idea what a yg8 is but awesome !!!

lol

Basically the promo package gave the truck a groups of options and saved the buyer money over buying individual options. The YG8 was the best package.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=587746

Promo package codes

A= YG6 Plaid Trim, Special Wheelcovers C10 (PA1) or Chrome Hubcaps C20-30 (PO3), Chrome Front Bumper, Upper (Belt) Molding, Door Edge Guards and Below Eye-Line Mirrors. A $94.50 savings.

B= YG7 (includes A) Adds Turbo-Hydramatic Trans., Power Steering and Tilt. A $178.50 savings.

C= YG8 (includes A and B) Adds A/C and Tint. A $260.50 savings.

Interesting facts, thanks for sharing those with me, I was going to part this truck out but am thinking about saving it for my next restore now

Nice find! Your farm definitely has grown since I came by to pick up the bedsides that you grew. I would definitely give it a go at straightening out that rear sport bumper. I am currently looking for a white one myself.

Yes it has

I am going to try and straighten it for my 68 project and get the correct rear bumper for this 72. These rear painted bumpers are becoming harder to locate
