Back, after 20yrs….

I first joined this forum way back, while restoring a 69 CST-10 I bought as a project in high school. I got the truck into primer, and while backing it out of the body shop, the drivers door swung open (no door latch), it caught the side of the garage and I folded the drivers door to the fender, badly tweaking the whole A-pillar post, destroying the door, and my will to continue on with the resto.

I sold it to my uncle for a song and disappeared into life.

2yrs ago I purchased a storage unit of parts and a mostly-disassembled 68 shortbox. Over the past 2 years I’ve puttered and put it back together. This past weekend it ran for a substantial chunk while I looked for leaks etc.

It’s super solid, and has awesome patina from back when it was repainted from its original dark-ish green.

Nice truck...! '67 & '68 are my favorite years, bar none....! but....
It's disheartening to know that the truck addiction cannot be cured...even after being clean and sober for 20 years..

Re: Back, after 20yrs….

Thanks all. A couple other pics.

The fronts are 15x8, rears 15x10. 275’s on all corners. Manual steering, no heater, tank and battery located under the bed so almost nothing in the engine bay.
