Just bought a 1968 C10, from the second owner. Looks like an unmolested truck with no rust. Well a little on the driver door bottom outer skin. The engine has been changed to CMT 1974 according to number ID info located on this site.
I had a 1969 GMC with 3 speed and a six as a work truck 15 years ago, and liked it so mutch had to have another. Now that I'm retired ( work a litttle to support my hobby) and will be restoring it as a daily driver. Thanks for letting me join your group, I really apprecate all the advice you guys offer up. I hope you can help me out too.I know I'll be having questions. Thanks I tried to include some pictures so this is my second try. Hope it works this time.Us old folks kinda slow at these new computer contraptions. Last edited by 8door; 03-26-2004 at 09:20 PM. |
