The Mindl3ss slow progress build thread.

[Mindl3ss]

Well, here goes nothing!

I was thinking about calling this "what did I get myself in to" but I knew it was going to be a lot of work anyway. I've had a few projects over the years, but I've never been in a position to actually make progress on them. This will be the first project where I actually have a small disposable budget to work on things.

I bought this '68 C10 short/wide bed two weeks ago on Friday. I've always wanted one, and it was just good timing. Also needed an excuse to finally sign up on this forum, since it is pretty much 90% of the results when I search for info and pictures of these things.

Anyway, here are the pictures that were in the ad on Craigslist:









Not really great photos. But it was in the same town where I work, so I went to check it out after work before commuting home.

Well, being the impatient, leap before looking guy I am, I struck a deal with the guy and arranged to pick it up and pay on Friday (checked it out Wednesday)

And here it is on Friday after I got it out of the shop while I waited for the hauler.


and on the flat bed


Well, I'll post some more later. I did some work on it this weekend.
