1966 Chevy C10 Shortbox

Recently bought a 1966 Chevy C10 Shortbox. The truck has a 350 with a 3 speed on the floor. The previous owner mildly tubbed out the rear and is currently running with 12"s. Recently started stripping the truck down to start the rebuild process. Ordered the parts to lower it, add disc brakes and power steering. Also ordered some body panels to repair a little rust on the rockers, cab corners, floor and inner fenders. I really hope to have the truck painted and on the road again by spring time. Eventually plan to throw a 4 or 5 speed transmission in.

Hope to keep you all updated throughout the process (going to be a slow build, have limited time to work on it). Enjoy the pictures.

Mike
