They are plentiful and still in a decent price bracket. I've seen good clean ones for 3-5k. They will have lots of miles but if you are planning new drivetrain, susp. etc. who cares?

That is a good idea, but I have a 1970 SWB C-10 that is getting a LS 5.3 real soon. I love the classic lines of the 67-72 a bit more than the 88-98 lines.

A '68 C-10 is on the list as well. I like the lines and the pre smog stature too. If I built one it would be yellow/white/yellow with either a nasty small block or a raspy big block backed by a Doug Nash 5-speed. Air Ride and 18's and 20's with a big fat front sway bar and a bench seat. I already have it built in my head.

The other way to go would be air ride, 18's and 20's, red oxide finish, chrome bumpers, and a weatherd logo on the doors. I would put a Line-X bedliner in it for some utility and the motor would be dressed with finned valve covers and a 59 Caddy air cleaner. I'd do billets but they would be like Billet Specialties Vintec or a Budnik Famosa with a greyish/black cast finish on the centers.

Starting to dig the trucks you can pound on and not be so paranoid about. Good solid drivers that turn heads and you can autocross and drive like a bat out of hell.

Drove Op Muscle truck to the Liquor store this afternoon to pick up some brew and she was a blast to drive. Can't beat the rumble at a stoplight and hearing the cam. Awesome. Once i shoot some video of blazing the tires I'll load it up here.

Cool man. That sounds like fun Travis. :thumbsup:

Lots of fun. Goes around a corner nice too!

This is a funny post. My truck is Yellow with a white top. I think I may do 20's all the way around, and the front is already sitting on bags.

Cool. I'm getting to the point where I like all the trim/badges on them with a retro paint scheme. Just air and big wheels and wicked powerplant. Sounds like a cool build DJW32
