The steering wheel came in. It washes out in the pictures but I think it looks really good in person.

Camaroguy,

I like the selection that you made for the control. I'm curious which Vintage air kit you selected and how the hose routing looks at the fire wall. Do you have an under hood pic that you can share? Recall if you used a "Builder kit" or "Surefit kit"? Thanks, Dave

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Found the hose / firewall pics....

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Hey Dave,

We used the Builder Series, I can’t remember exactly which one but it was one of the smaller units.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

We got the speedometer converter and radio delete plate installed this week. And, well, I guess that's a wrap...................

Re: '68 c10 build
 

We are off to Goodguys in Scottsdale next week.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

I brought the truck home today and decided to take a few pictures.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Continued.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

That turned out amazing

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Thank you.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

It looks beautiful, are you going to make it to Dino's Git Down the night before, would luv to see it in person.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Thank you. I’m not familiar. Can you message me details?

Re: '68 c10 build
 

This house is across the street from mine and I thought it would make for a pretty cool backdrop.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

That truck would look good in front of a homeless camp 😂😂

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Hahaha! Thank you.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

One more because I can’t stop.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Beautiful truck and house. Mine as well keep them together.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Hahaha, I can’t afford either.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

The truck turned out beautiful and your Dad is one hell of a painter. Sure wish you were gonna make it to Dino's. Good luck with the sale.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Thanks, man. I will keep it in mind.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Did you get your air charged and blowing cold? If so how do you still feel about not having the center vent aside from visual esthetics?

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Literally just got it charged today. Blows stupid cold. It isn’t very warm here right now though so I may think differently in the summer. So far though, I think it was a great idea to leave it out.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

All loaded up.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

That smooth bumper looks great. Good luck at the show.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Thanks!

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Truck made the trip without issue. We also brought another car with us. This one is a ‘54 Olds 98 Starfire Covertible. It has a 6.0 ls, bagged suspension, Ron Mangus Interior. Neat car.

Barrett-Jackson’s showing a little love on their FB page.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

That's a beautiful car.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Brief update - The trip to Goodguys went well. Truck got a lot of positive feedback and I had two guys who were interested in buying. One guy was there to buy a c10 and had cash in hand but I don't think was able to get to my asking price. Another gentlemen had been there to buy a "nice driver" c10 the year prior and couldn't find one that he liked. He said he made the decision to build one instead. He showed me some pics of the truck he was building and it was out of this world. He said his build steamrolled on him and he was 120,000 Canadian in it prior to paint and interior. He went on to say he would again be looking for a nice driver in the next few months. He got my info and said he was very interested in the truck.

Fast forward to last week, I was contacted by a third guy who saw the truck online. We spoke a few times and I sent pics to him and we agreed on a price. He sent me a deposit last night and is planning to pick it up around Christmas. Nice guy who's super excited about the truck. He said he'd been looking for one for a while.

I will post once it's all said and done. It's been fun, thanks for those who followed along and offered their thoughts along the way.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Thats great news. Congrats

Re: '68 c10 build
 

The truck's headed to a new home in San Diego.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Congrats guys, very nice truck that you guys done up. Are there plans for another one?

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Thank you. The shop is working on a few cars right now but no c10s. I think my dad and I are going to do a 68 Camaro on the side to sell like we did this one.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Wow, just came across your truck build on YouTube which lead me to this thread, colour are almost identical to my current build

Came up sweet 👌

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Thanks! The youtube Video was kind of cool. I have no idea how it happened but all the pics were taken from this build thread.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

I got to see the truck a few weeks ago at Goodguys in Del Mar. The new owner seemed very happy with the truck and even made a few tweaks to make it his own. The most noticeable change was the new interior. He changed it to black and had an upholstery shop do a custom cover for the seat.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Just to update this thread. I got word the new owners won an award this past weekend at Goodguys in Del Mar. The award was "Chevy Truck Pick" by LMC. Made me miss it but I'm happy for them.

Re: '68 c10 build
 

I thought this was a pretty cool picture. I'm sure he's thinking, "they should have used my wheels."

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Beautiful Truck. Question: I've never done Vintage Air before. What's the Hot tip on getting the lines out the fan hole? Does it work? no sweat/leaks inside? I'm having a Custom "GMC" Panel made for the entire Pass side and Man, I'd like to keep it clean! Any help is appreciated!

Re: '68 c10 build
 

Yeah no problems with it at all.
