I want to nominate my son Chad's 1969 big block C10 for TOTM. Chad's forum name is CC69Rat. Sorry, but these are the only photos I have but as soon as the snow melts here in Tennessee I will get some better ones. This has been a 7 year father-son frame off restoration that was finished in December.

Thanks,
POP

Okay, since the theme this month is BIG, I am submitting my 72 Chev enclosed car hauler. It is powered by a fuel injected 454, 4L80E trans, goes down the road great. It has an 18 1/2 ft. box, winch,and based on a later chassis. Here are a few pics of it working and not working. We have used it for many things, but primarily to haul our 40 Ford gasser.
