Roadster Shop/Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck
 

We are pleased to introduce a new Roadster Shop C-10 build coming your way!

We have teamed up with Craftsman Tools to build a '69 Chevy C-10, utilizing our FAST TRACK C-10 chassis, Forgeline wheels and a host of custom touches to make for a pretty badass truck.

The build is being documented, filmed and will be featured on the Craftsman YouTube site, Club Community, Facebook page etc. The truck will then be auctioned at Barrett Jackson with all proceeds going to Heroes at Home charity.

Check out the preview video!:

This should be a real cool build. Thanks for posting Chris.

Any chance you guys are keeping the six-banger in there?



Jeff-

Anything the RS builds I'm gonna be glued to the screen watching. Let's go!! :ohsnap:

^^What Marcus said here. You can't go wrong.

sure.. tease us with a couple pictures and a 30 second video haha cant wait to see this one! I know it will be sick like every other build you guys pump out!

This is going to be a awesome build I will be watching this one :thumbsup:

Lol - we are known for our small HP, tiny engine builds. :sarcasm_smiley:

Don't worry, there is plenty more to come!

Thanks!

With the teardown underway, a vote was held across the Craftsman and our Facebook pages to select the main color for the truck.

After 3470 votes, the charcoal scheme was voted as winner. We then offered two distinct options based on the charcoal scheme:

1.

or 2.

with over 6600 votes, we have a winner, but which one would you go for?

that second one is just about perfect. :hail:


cant wait to see this one take shape!

#1 FTW... very cool truck.

After careful consideration #1 :D

Please don't use that woodgrain insert trim. :sieg:

I'm diggin the first one but the red on the wheels isn't working for me. Either way, when I win it I probably won't change a thing!

Ps I'm 6'5" 245lbs, if that helps lay out the interior.:thumbsup:

Pss cool to see you're keeping it a long bed

Dan

Lol - nice try...
Actually it will be converted to a short bed.

You can have us switch it back to a long bed when you win it. :unibrow:

Keep it swb wheelbase but...... how about increasing the cab dimensions to similar proportions as the 88-98 c/k trucks. Much better leg room in the c/k series vs the 6x-87's (current owner of a 64, 67, & 90swb; previous owner of a 74swb).

I guess I can just leave the tailgate down:D

I prefer the second one. But, I will take either...:whistling:

gah...i hope that wood trim doesn't make it. Oh well, ill still drive it :headspin:

If you have to do a two tone, I would go with the first one.

Mike

This is going to be another awesome build! I like both schemes, but leaning towards the second one more.

Number 2 for me, just because the first one looks like Phil's orange and white truck to much!! But don't worry I won't change either if I win it!! :welcome3:

#1 Ftw

Number 2..

I like two too! :y0!:


Jeff-

#1 for me

Ironically, 2 is my favorite number and #2 is on the money. :G-Dub:

#2

Here is the first episode of the video series!:



...and some 'behind the scenes' shots of whats been going on the last few weeks. Full filming crew and production team descended upon us. Part of the shop has been cleared and turned into the set for the build of the truck.

That's awesome!


Disruptive -- but awesome! LOL

Cool. A C10 is on my bucket list.

BTW, do I have to buy a car to get one of those sweet looking RS shirts?:D I'll have to look for that trailer at the next show I guess.

Awesome build, awesome video. And free Craftsman cabinets and tools to boot!

Ahhh my dad had a chevy that looked exactly like this. Long bed, faded green with the white cab and a camper. He used it as his work truck from the early 70's til about '07. Drove it out from Illinois when he moved to CA. Truck had rust everywhere (fist sized hole right above the rear passenger wheel wheel). Wish I hadn't pushed him to get rid of it but at the time he had a new work truck and the C10 was just being used to store stuff. Man, the memories I have of that truck are priceless!

Hurry up and strip it so I can shut up about all this hahaha
-Dave

It's definitely interesting to see what all goes on behind the scenes to make a show and the number of people and equipment involved in setting up just a couple of shots.

Yes. You have to buy a car. (2 cars gets you a hoodie)

OR...We have a Facebook store you can order through HERE or you can just give give us a call. (we are out of XL's though...should have more soon)

More updates coming soon!

Here are the latest videos on the C-10 build!

Episode 2: Finding the Truck



and Episode 3: Disassembly and rust repair

I have a request...make those great vids longer.

:G-Dub:



:D

Chris, I think every build needs a full camera crew. Just saying. I love watching this stuff.

Yea very cool and I imagine a PITA.:thumbsup:

You can't go wrong buying a car from RS so if you like the shirt why not spend a little extra.:lol:

:cheers:

No arguments here on any of that! Longer videos would be great!
