Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
Broom? Oh' that was a not so subtle message for my wife, that's she's got lots of cleaning to do when it gets back to our garage!

Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
I used to HATE those bumpers. Now: they are growing on me. I like them.
Whatever you do, please don't just throw them away. And WC mirrors are so nice on any truck, very unique these days. Great base for a project, thanks for sharing.

Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
I’d say that’s a great deal. It’s hard to find them as preserved as yours.

Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
I think that's a pretty good deal. I paid a little less for mine but I don't think it was as clean as yours overall. Mine needed a new bedside from a fender bender a long time ago.
For the rear bumper, you could always go with one of the smaller bumpers. Mine came factory with a nice low profile step bumper. I originally planned on ditching it for the ever popular sport bumper, but then I realized how useful mine was and it started to grow on me.

Another option for me to consider... Doubt anyone is reproducing that version though! Thank you - I thought it was a fair deal, seller wasn't complaining - neither was I

Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
Hey Mike, I just posted on your welcome thread. I have friends in your area and get over that way every month or two. Welcome.
Don't worry, you never made a single mention of selling parts. It was the guys here who know the rules already but can't help their comments. I do the same as you...keep what I pull to keep it all together. Plenty of orphan parts out there looking for a home. Do you hit Mason-Dixon when you run the Camaro? BTW, nice truck!!

Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
Welcome to the forum and nice truck.
On the pricing, I'd see say you did fine...particularly for PA where there are less examples of these around. $7500 for a solid, unmolested, V-8/327 truck is right in the 'acceptable' zone...no worries. Its increasingly difficult to find these trucks where they haven't been badly messed with ...on so many levels from drivetrains to metal flake steering wheels, to 9" diameter tachometers, etc...lol. You did fine, truck looks great and you will have a lot of fun with it....when you start with them in that condition and readiness. Again, welcome...lots of good info and help here. All good Coley

Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
Welcome, and to echo what others have said, that looks like a real nice truck you got there. I too would have to ditch that step bumper, but I agree you'd be wise to hold onto anything you take off. You're a drag racer so you might appreciate what I'd do, which is put some wider wheels on it with the stock hubcaps so you you can fit some wider rubber on it. I wouldn't drop it down on the ground with 20" wheels. I'm just not a fan of that look.

Any Steel wheels come in 15" X 8" ? Or easier to go aftermarket for steel wheels in wider then 7" widths... Don't plan on taking it down the drag strip, but you never know...

The widest factory steel wheels that were available on these trucks were the 16.5 x 9.75's. They were available on the Custom Campers. I have them on my '68 C-20 CST/Custom Camper. LockDoc

How about fits a C10 like mine. C20 used 8-lug rims I believe. 15" X 8" would be a pretty decent size / fit. Stock steel wheels or else Rallye Wheels are my choices, assuming Steelies were made in that size... Thanks for info the LocDoc! Mike

Re: Hello, Garage fresh 68 C10
Next post will have Engine and Underside as requested.
Stopped and took some fresh photo's of the dirty truck, boy I've got a good cleaning, waxing, and detailing ahead me in the next week or two... Future pictures will look much better, geez mold starting on the door panels - door seal replacement needed asap.

Engine compartment & underside. Took more, but for some reason my phone isn't sending them forward to my laptop... will work on it. If you'd like a particular picture / close up let me know.
