Re: New owner of 1966 C10 Camper Special

Glad to see it made it home. These projects can get very expensive if you want it to look and drive like new truck, but if you just want a clean survivor, just do the basics. Start with the maintenance items, then move on to missing pieces and or installing correct pieces. Sodly's truck is a great reference to the way it looked new. Extra gas tanks were an aftermarket item found typically on ex camper haulers for more range between fill ups. Rocker and lower fenders repair panels are available and are common rust repairs on these trucks. I would not repaint after any repairs, just leave these spots primed. New wheels? What's on there now? 16.5? New 16.5" radials are still available.
