Looking good, where did you get the dash pad from? I'm looking for one the same color too!

Re: '68 c10 build
Well, it looks like my truck building adventure will be slowing a bit. My hours at work are changing to a normal schedule which will prevent me from working at my dad's during the morning. It kind of sucks in that regard but it is much better for me and my family. I will continue to post when I can.
I did manage to get the steering column installed today and all of the glass came in this afternoon. |

Today we got the windshield installed, as well as the passenger side door glass, felt, door handle/lock. The glass is a tempered gray glass and is a very nice product. I should have the wing window back together tomorrow and in the truck.

Re: '68 c10 build
Today didn't exactly go as planned. I don't know how many of you have rebuilt your wing windows but what a complete pain. We almost had it all back together and snapped the stud off the bottom. I had to disassemble another one and prep it for paint so it will be a few days before we get it installed.

This morning I got the front bumper installed. We went with the "smoothie" style. I will most likely do the same on the rear but I'm not certain yet because I have yet to see one installed on a truck. Let me know if you have any pictures of one.

Re: '68 c10 build
Thank you!

Re: '68 c10 build
Front bumper and the truck look killer. Where did you pick the bumper up from.

Re: '68 c10 build
Awesome job! Love the all of the work that has been done.
If I win the lottery in the near-distant future, I'm buying your truck. ;) |
Re: '68 c10 build
I rebuilt a set of vent windows a few months ago it wasn't fun. Hardest part was getting rubber to stay in for me.

Been a few weeks since I have been able to work on the truck or post any pictures. However, I was able to spend a couple of days recently on it.
Last Thursday, I got the radiator installed. We went with a Mattson Radiator. They are pricey but totally worth it. Everything about the experience was pleasant. I was also able to get the upper and lower radiator hoses installed. I used the factory Pontiac G8 GT hoses. Had to cut a few inches off the lower, and splice the upper in the middle. Came out pretty clean. |

Yesterday morning I was able to install the rear glass. First time I have ever been involved with installing one. My dad used the rope trick. Pretty cool to see.

A while back we decided to paint the wing window frames white to match the top. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it so we installed one of them without the glass yesterday just to make sure. I think it looks really clean. Opinions?

Last week my dad got the underside of the hood painted. The top was also ready for final blocking.

Yesterday afternoon I stopped by and they had finished blocking the hood and got it painted. This was literally about 30 seconds after the final coat of clear. Pics wont do it justice but this thing is STRAIGHT.
