68' Chevy c10
 

Hi everyone, I have been working on this while it was my DD for almost a year. Finally started taking it apart. This site is awesome, there is so much info in one place. I thought it was a good time to post some pics. This is when I bought it.

That is one of those blazer tanks from LMC. more work than their worth since you have to cut one if the cross sills under the bed floor:(

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Looking good, nice and rust free cab!! Sweet find.

Re: 68' Chevy c10

Practice...practice. Start on some old sheetmetal, and just take you time. If you need help just ask.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Nice project and I really like the color! Something different!!!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

cool truck is the 67 donating its fenders?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Thanks VA72C10. Thats what I like about the color too.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Wont be using those fenders on this project, the PO cut the lowers off, not just the outer skin.:waah:

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Going to pull motor out today I hope. wanting to remove engine/trans together. I did a few searches on it, but getting some conflicting info. some say it can be done others say no. not able to find info on my combo (327 / ms 420) I have everything disconnected that should be. not sure if the trans will clear the rear cross member. any advice would be great. Oh almost forgot this is my first engine pull. thanks in advance.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

It can be done, it will help to have a tilter/leveler(thing with the black crank handle) attached to your hosit, so you can change the angle as the engine is coming out. You have the front clip off...right?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Thanks 72SWBCHEVY. I do have the load leveler, and thanks for the core support tip. right now the hood is off, but not core support. I thought it looked like it might hit rear motor mount support. (cross member ?)

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

just didnt look like much clearance from above or below.
