Thanks for the nice comments. Well, actually, it's not a 50th although it's supposed to look like one. Truck isn't a '68 although that's my favorite front end; and I do like the color combination of the 50th models.

I guess you would call it a mongrel. Things I like from a lot of different models. I like it anyway.

Gave my son my previous C10 when he got into Medical School thinking it would sit in my garage for a few years and then he would restore it again with his son. Didn't work out. Broke my heart, he sold it two (2) days after I gave it to him. Guess this one is revenge. I've put my heart and soul (plus nearly 2 years) into it. All so that when he asks to drive it someday I can (and will) say "NO".

Am going to keep it until I die. Interestingly, if you've read this far, there are less than 30 original pieces of metal on this truck including bolts. I really have "built" it...
