68 shortbed stepside stripper truck build

[indymachinist]

Well it has been a long time coming but I now own my first classic truck. If you read any of my intro thread you would know I saw my first c10 step side in highschool and wanted it but wasn't able to get it. Now a little under 15 years later I finally got one.

It is a white 1968 shortbed stepside with a 250 6cyl and 3 on the tree. I forgot to get a picture of the SPID but it has virtually no options other than heavy duty rear springs, volt meter, and oil pressure gauge.

It has been repainted but other than that it appears to be in very original condition.

Here are some pictures of it on the trailer Thursday night (7/30/15) when I brought it home.







My Caprice wagon towed it home with ease. I was quite impressed with how well it pulled the truck. I averaged about 13 mpg at about 65 mph.
