Saddle up 66 c10
5 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone, i'm 16 years old and this is my first build. I acquired the truck in the past summer after looking at c10 trucks since I was 12 or 13. The truck is a 66 c10 SWB BBW. For some reason the 60's body style has always been my favorite. The plan is to do a frame off restore with the help of my dad and brother, I plan on using the the original colors which are saddle and white, I plan on doing all the paint and body myself. Not sure if if I want to go with and ls platform or the lt/350 style engine yet but I do know I want to put a 5-speed or 6-speed manual. here are a few pictures of my truck and the progress that I have made so far.

That bumper is really sweet, I'd definitely keep that!
Enjoy the time building the truck with your pop, I built my first car, a 72 Nova between the age of 14 and 18 with my Dad, I'm 34 now, still have the car and the memories we made during that time and after will be with me for the rest of my life |

Well yesterdays progress, set the bed back on for my mom and she wanted pictures and the smart thing to do is to not fight and just do it, so oh well the best is sitting back the frame for now. Anyways I pulled all the glass from the doors because the doors aren't straight and I intend to make them as straight as I can get them. After I fix the doors I plan on moving to the floor and rockers.

Re: Saddle up 66 c10

As you can see the problem im facing with the doors, they're almost warped I would say. The cancer on the floors are not terrible, glad I caught it at an early stage :lol:

That thing is unbelievably straight, nice score.

Re: Saddle up 66 c10
Looks like an awesome place to start! Sheesh I remember being 17 joining hotrods.com and being the "young gun." Up until reading some of these threads I still felt like a young gun (I'm 30), but I guess I just aged faster than I thought.
Looking forward to following this build! My vote is for an LS with a T56 behind it. |
