Yes! What the Yepster failed to say is 2" blocks + 4" springs = 6" drop. :dohh:

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10

Re: My 68 c10
 

looks good! I dont no anything about bodywork but how long'd that take you and your friend? (with DA)?

What're the holes for lol

Re: My 68 c10
 

my guess about the holes are that their from some putting their own marker lights on the bed. lol
their gettin welded up
it actually took me and my friend 930 am - 4 pm to have the bed stripped even inter tailight buckets

Re: My 68 c10
 

Thanks Very Much
For all the encouraging comments everybody has given my son. He is really attached to "Crooked". Today he fired it up fopr the first time since tear down. It sounded good and it idled smooth on the first try. It was great to me to see his face when it fired up. Its like that commercial, Priceless :lol:

Re: My 68 c10
 

today i started up my truck since janurary and iwas so happy i hear it have its life back.
im more and more pumped to get it done now. but couldnt leave it running for long since no kickdown cable and radiator coolant wasnt in.

Jesse,

Great job! I cannot belive the amount of progress you have made....I remember meeting you and your dad at the Pismo show last year and you did not even have a truck then. Keep up the good work!

Re: My 68 c10
 

today i woke up to work on crooked and on my way to my dad shop this happened im okay and lucky to be here says the CHP officer but here is whats left so now i lost my daily =/
i got hit my a big rig that merged into my lane and did not see me. my car is gone and i feel horrible about it because my grandma bought it brand new from the dealer in 1979.
right when i got out my car i was pissed about the car more than my scratchs on me

Re: My 68 c10
 

Yikes wht happened. Glad you're ok

Re: My 68 c10
 

big rig merged into my lane and it pulled my car into his wheels
if you look you can see where he first hit me with the front wheels on the front fender than my car got pulled into the rear tire- look at driver side door and quarter panel
