Thanks again Todd it rode great and we did get a lot of looks... We had fun joking about it being up there. Do you plan on coming to the truck show in Whitehouse, TN in July?

I have actually been thinking about coming down to the show. I am not sure what am I doing yet but it is on the list of "like to if I can". If I do I could bring Chuck down that grille. LOL

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
I got the c10 registered today! I took her for a drive for about a half hour, the old girl did good. However I do have a lot of electrical things to fix, I don't have dash lights and a few other things don't work.

Nice Truck... If I had it... It would be full of brick and mortar bags... maybe a beer can or two

Cool to see someone actually using one for a truck!
