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

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:
