69 K10 maiden 'fathers day' voyage - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BrianG · 06-19-2016, 10:07 PM

Well, after five years I was finally able to take my truck on its maiden voyage after being tore down and rebuilt. Still have LOTS of tweaking to do and a few thing yet to put on. I was very happy that my first ride included my son and wife, and we took it to go visit my dad for Father's Day.

Sorry, for the 'me' post but I thought I'd share the exciting news with my online family. Here she is before getting put to bed for the night.

Happy Father's Day to all you dads!

Thanks! I don't have a lot of finished pics. I took most of last week off work, been at it ten to twelve hours a day for the last five days to try to get it in the road. I am wore out. Here's one more pic. I'll get a few more tomorrow after work and post them.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I would never have got this far without this site. The past information available through searches has been invaluable.

I cleaned it up tonight to take a few better pictures, but by the time I was done, it was too dark to take a good photo. I'll take some better ones tomorrow night hopefully. Here is some not so good pictures of the interior and engine.
