Hello from Sacramento!!!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

frog trucker · 06-08-2008, 11:10 PM

I was recently "blessed" with a 1968 c-10 lwb. 307 c.i., 3 on the tree, and enough rust for a dozen pickups. I'm waiting for a spot in my garage to begin working on it, so in the mean time, I've started collecting parts. So far, I picked up a complete '68 G.M.C. cab with hood and fenders, A Hurst floor shifter, and a complete '69 Chevy swb steel-floor bed. I became totaly hooked on this forum after reading a thread by glock35ipsc on how to shorten a frame. I also enjoyed the posts by Rokcrln because my project will be low buck. I'm new to posting, so please bear with me until I get the hang of it, okay?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I forgot to mention in my first post some of the plans for my truck. At some point, drop spindles and lowering springs, front disc brake conversion, change to five lug, and I plan on following the thread by glock35ipsc to shorten my frame. I would also like to add p/s & p/b. My truck is insured and it is registered, but I don't like to drive it because the worn-out column shifter sometimes sticks in gear, so the Hurst shifter installation is near the top of the list. I want to repair the rust on the cab, but if I do not get to it before rainny season begins, I'll need to patch the hole in the roof with a roll or two of duct tape. I also need to find out why I cannot lock my doors. The key turns the lock slightly, and I can see the lock-pull-knob at the top of the door move a little, but not enough to fully lock the door. Help?
