JEDDY II Captain Fab and to all my C10 friends

[Jeremy 63]

Hey everyone,
It’s been years since I’ve posted anything here. God I hope everyone on the other side of the pond are doing well🙏.

I regret to inform you that in the summer of 2016, Jeddy I (1963 c10 LB step-side) was stolen from the parking lot of the BellaSky Hotel in Copenhagen, Demark. I was on my way to Stockholm, Sweden on a summer European tour. I’ll try to post pics here🙏.

Since then, I have purchased Jeddy II, a 1963 SB step-side from Worldwide Vintage Autos in Denver, Colorado. The past few years I’ve been working on an off frame restoration on this truck. You can also follow the build on Instagram under:

Welcome back Jeremy

Yes that is really too bad that your first truck was stolen. Jeddy II sounds like an awesome truck, especially the engine. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress here.

Stunning Project! That parts list is just awesome and that engine should be alot of fun!

Did you build it yourself?
