Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Welcome back Chad! I know that life can create a mess for us, but God has a plan for each of us. Sounds like he has a special plan for you and brining you back here might be part of the big picture, only he knows. Our job is to listen to his guidance and follow him.
Anyway, I think the new DD is cool, I dig the color. Now, get back in the garage! |

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Welcome back Chad!! Looking forward to seeing this thing come together. There were a couple short fleet beds on Charlotte's craigslist last time I looked, might be able to find a deal:metal:

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Chad, I'm glad you are back, I enjoy watching you and your dad work together on your trucks. Seems kind of familiar.:lol:
Another thing that is all too familiar to me is the inability to have our own children. When we couldn't create our own bundle of joy, we both went and got tested. Neither one of us was able to have children. We went through all of the emotions associated with that, but having supporting family and friends always helps you through the tough times. Now, we are in the process of adopting, and while it may not be our genetic child when we finish the process, I truly believe that we will love him/her just as much, if not more because of the struggles we had to go through to get there. Keep your chin up & rely on God, family, and friends for support... That's why you have them in your life, not just for the good times. |
Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
NOS bedsides located ! Trying to buy them now.. Right in my back yard.. :metal: The RH side is still in the GM box. LH is out of the box but mint condition. I can't wait to see them.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
I am glad to you are back posting also. I have watched your truck coming together as I have a 67 stepper that I am working on, more gathering dust than working on it. Good luck with the rest of your build. Maybe we can hook up in Nashville next May at the goodguys show.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Chad, glad to see you did not let these things get you down. When God closes one door, he opens another. My wife and I went thru fertility about 17 years ago and she got pregnant with twins (not thru IVF, just hormone injections). There were complications all along the way, and long story short, we lost both of the girls within 9 months. We were devastated. However, during that time, my wife became pregnant (on our own, no fertility) and we had a healthy baby girl in December of 1997. If we are faithful, God will answer our prayers, but as I'm sure you know, it's in His time, not ours. Keep your head up, it sounds like you have a good support group behind you.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Glad to see your back on and good luck with the bed sides, what a score!

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Chad,
It's good to see you're back on the forum and forging ahead...no matter how tough the times can be. Just reading your post, and the many, many positive responses reaffirms my faith in good people. We all face obstacles at various times. I've been out of work for 17 months and can't seem to get over the final hurdle towards another job. Kind of tired of "coming in second" and that's been hard on my idea of my "self worth"! To top it off, we're now experiencing health issues with my 82 year old father. Sometimes, you feel like you can't win. But, you will! I'm one of those people that you said you "don't know everyone", but you seem like a nice guy and there are many expressions of support on here from your friends. There are others of us that have experienced, or are experiencing, tough times. Just remember...you aren't facing the tough times all alone. I wish you the best, as many others do, and look forward to seeing you working on your project. v/r, don |

Wishing all my friends a Happy Thanksgiving !
I missed out on the bedsides (outbid by $10 bucks). But I have found a really nice tailgate. I am supposed to pick it up tonight. I'll post some pictures. |
Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Happy Thanksgiving Chad and good luck on the gate.

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project

Sorry for the crappy pictures but I picked up my tailgate over the holidays. This thing is a time capsule. A huge Thank You to Jason, I appreciate your help brother man! Let me know if you're ever up this way.
As I understand it this gate was taken off a fairly new truck and put away in storage. It hasn't been on a truck or even outside in 30+ yrs. Original paint, I am super stoked to get it. |

Super nice tailgate find.
That is garage wall art! |
Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Sweet find!

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
I was gonna say, that gate's too nice to use!
My brother has gone down the same road with kids. Surgeries, hormones, $$$$$$$$$, 4 good starts lost, the whole nine. Finally, they said to hell with it and made big life (corporate job)changes to hit the road and climb the ladder, since they didn't have to be tied to a home. Long story short, he got a start with a job 2 hours down the road, she turned up pregnant and it's going well, and as a kicker, he's been reassigned- to his current address. Weird things can happen, even late in the game. Don't lose heart. |
Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
Nice find on the tailgate, how are you coming with the rest of the bed parts

Re: 1969 C10 SWB - Big Block project
