Re: My 68 c10
 

Chiming in from H-Town, Good Luck on your build, you have a great looking truck. Many of us could only dream of having the resources and facilities that you have at your age. Its really good that you are taking advantage of it. I will keep up with your build. You got plenty of "ganas" so I'm sure it will end up fabulous.......

Re: My 68 c10
 

well today my dad asked me would i rather make sure the truck is running fine and not put in the new intake carburetor and 700r4 in right now and just do my body work i chose to do that before doing my body work.
so the plans on a 67 are on hold until "crooked" get a tune up =]]

Re: My 68 c10
 

pulled out engine ready to do my 700r4 swap. and paint engine block and swap more parts out

Re: My 68 c10
 

Lookin good, what are you gonna spray it with? I did something similar to my 68, check my sig.....

Re: My 68 c10
 

You are moving right along......It's cool that your dad is not doing it for you. I have a 20 year old son and I have built him already two vehicles so I am done, if he wants it he has to build them himself, I am letting him bang his head beforeI bail him out.

Love what you have already done with it....:metal:

Re: My 68 c10
 

Hey Jessie great job on your truck. We all like the followups, man your not afraid to try, good luck

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10
 

lol i forgot to take pics of it today but i got the engine painted today and about to spray the frame tomorrow all done cleaning it up.

Re: My 68 c10
 

thanks alot i've been helping my dad build cars with him my whole life in the video of his blazer you can watch me helping since i was 3 stilll with my bottle its about time i start building my own car even tho he helps out some times lol.

Re: My 68 c10
 

looks good man glad to see a youngin using his time wisely. By the what what did u use to clean and paint frame?

Re: My 68 c10
 

i used a wire wheel toclean the frame and in hard areas 80 grit sandpaper. i still havent painted the frame but wondering what i should use on in...
semi gloss black most likely.

Re: My 68 c10
 

got my frame all nice and looking good=] happy with the way it turned out and did extra work so i did the radiator support also =] also got in my 2 inch drop blocks and looking lower and nicer =] the lower the nicer is what i think lol.

Re: My 68 c10
 

Hey everyone, I would like to thank all of you for your interest and nice comments on my son's low budget but hard labor build.;) He really loves his truck. He has put every dollar he earned this winter break into it(with a few exceptions to take his girl out:lol:) He is working very hard on it every day and he does not want Dad to do everything all I have to do is guide him along the way. I am so PROUD to watch him enjoy his truck.:metal:

Re: My 68 c10
 

Hey im just trying to get more opinions on this forum... Any one that reads this feel free to answer please....


should i stay with the holly carburetor or go with an edlbrock carburetor??

Re: My 68 c10
 

Whats wrong with the holley? There both good brands

Re: My 68 c10
 

I think holley is more fine tunable and edelbrock is simpler to tune...

thats what Ive heard..

Ive got the edelbrock, seems pretty easy I like it.

Re: My 68 c10
 

thank you for the input

Re: My 68 c10
 

What kind of drop is in it now ?

Re: My 68 c10
 

I like the holley personally . I have had bad luck with the edelbrock . Not saying the edelbrock is a bad carb just my opinion. Bob

Re: My 68 c10
 

how did you get the radiator support so clean and painted did you remove the grill,,,or the support itself?? your doing a great job!!:ito:

Re: My 68 c10
 

Front the drop is not done their is no springs in it but it is going to lower because im going to cut of the front bump stops and cut the springs

but its 6" in the back


IT IS ALL TEMPORARY FOR RIGHT NOW ONCE I GET BODY WORK ALL COMPLETE I AM GOING TO SAVE UP FOR A FULL BODY DROP hoping for august or September to start having that work going on to it i just need a job and finish up high school.

Re: My 68 c10
 

No i did not remove the grill but planning to someday so i can make it alot better looking.
it looks really good right now but i want it 100% good.

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10
 

My dad thinks hes a real comedian when im gone back at school btw this is a joke...
http://i50.tinypic.com/9ger68.jpg

Re: My 68 c10
 

Nice truck! If you dont put that trim back on let me know Ill buy it. One more thing...where did those tri-bars come from. I have been looking at different swap meets but they have color dots and/or turn signal in them and thats not what im looking for.
