1968 c10 short box - JD's

Hey all

So I am 27 now but when I was an even younger lad I owned a long box c10 1968 chev pickup. It was my first ever vehicle and we bought it with the intention of fixing it up (it was a semi modded one that had some items stolen off of it when it was parked) and using it as my daily driver.

Long story short my parents thought I might kill myself in the truck due to the engine size (yet I could own a sportbike at 16?) so it sat until I moved out of the house at 19. At that point I had nowhere to park it and had to sell it for 2k.

About 9 years later here I am and I found a C10 1968 for about $2400 and it runs with very minor rust in certain areas. So my project has started.

Here are some pics. So far I have a back roll pan on order. I have some chrome inside door panels on order. The SSBC power disc kit is next and I just ordered a 3-4 inch spring and shock kit.

Welcome to the board.
I use Imgur also and you can add pictures into your post by choosing "large thumbnail" to reduce the size and then copy and paste the "BBC Code" directly into it like so.
Here is an example of the BBC code ['IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kiRDszil.jpg[/IMG']

Love the truck! I do see from the pictures a few normal rust spots that will need attention. With a little time youll have her (or him) fixed up and blowing them tires! Keep updates coming!
