Levi

[SchreinerM]

Hi everyone, my name is Matt and I’m a long time lurker, first time project poster.

There's no great story to share here, just that my first truck was a 1972 C-10. I used it as a work truck while restoring a house, with the eventual hopes to restore it. Eventually I realized it was too rusty to save, so I found a 1968 C-10 without a driveline. Thanks to too many projects and too many hours at work, it's been a slow, slow process where years went by without a bit of progress. But recently I've been moving forward and thought posting here would be a motivator to get this thing progressing.

It’s my first frame off restoration, so in general it’s a pretty straight forward build. 1968 front clip, 1972 disc brakes, 2001 Silverado 5.3L, and air bags all around. Nothing to revolutionary. The name Levi comes from the intended color (blue jean like) and that it’s the third vehicle I’ve modified (Leviticus is the third book of the Bible, although that’s not super relevant to the build).

It won’t be this low, but the photo below (which I blatantly stole from another board member) is the goal.
