1969 Chevy C/20 Build

[Diggerdan11]

Hey Everyone. I figured I would start a build thread on my 1969 Chevy C/20.

My Father and I purchased this 1969 Chevy C/20 last summer. We have wanted to restore a classic Chevy truck ever since we restored his original 1969 Chevelle years ago. Well after years and years of talking about it we finally purchased a pretty good truck. The body is pretty straight and has very little rust. The 350 Engine (from a 1974 truck) and tranny are solid, and it came with some fairly nice 20" wheels and tires. One of the things that frustrates me with this truck is the previous owner ripped out most of the factory AC , So we are looking into what it might take to replace it, or we may just buy an aftermarket AC system.

The Truck was originally blue. We are planning on painting it Atomic Orange (from an 07-10 Corvette), and doing the interior in black. A buddy of mine who is a member on here (bagged68chevy) is going to be doing the paint and body work. Over the next couple weeks I am planning on pulling the engine and stripping it to get ready for paint. Then we will start gathering parts for a full restore. Hopefully we can have it ready for our local car show in June 2014.
