The revival and documentation of my 1968 c30
This is my 1968 Chevy c30 that I purchased this last September.
My plans for it are to keep it all original, fix what is broken and drive it. Here it is at its former resting place before coming home. Last edited by sixty8HDC30; 04-05-2023 at 01:10 AM. |

Re: The revival and documentation of my 1968 c30
I need to figure out a better way to format my posts and post pics.
Here are some more of getting it home. |

Yeah buddy! I like your plan and will be looking forward to updates. I'm curious, does your truck use the 20" widowmaker rims? My C-50 does.

Re: The revival and documentation of my 1968 c30
First thing I did when I got it home was start the cleaning process by removing the soiled and degraded(but ultra cool) seat cover and vacuuming up the majority of the mouse and rat droppings from the interior and under the hood.
Then I removed the rotten ply wood from the flat bed and pressure washed the original wood underneath, came out pretty nice. Last edited by sixty8HDC30; 04-05-2023 at 01:08 AM. |
