69 C10 Pickup
 

I haven't posted on here in long while, but I have done a couple more cars so I figured I would share. I picked up this short box in Wyoming from a geologist I was working with. Truck was a one owner special order. It lived its whole life in Anaconda Mt until the son in law got it. He's a square body guy so he sold it to me. I bought the trailer too seeing as it was loaded on there so nice and pulled it home to MN. The pictures are huge, Ill update when I figure that out.

Body was OK, not really rusty at all. Bed floor and tailgate were hammered. I was really hoping to be able to remove the bad repaint and be left with decent orig color but no luck. Spent a lot of time with plastic razor blades and graffiti remover. There just wasn't enough left.

I did a new full floor, cab corners, rockers, and a new box. Plus a couple small patches. The new floors are so nice I had to do it.

All this metal came from The Bowtie Truck Stop in Sanborn MN.

I did a c-knotch and exhaust pass through on the frame before blasting and painting it. The frame is super clean, no pitting. The fuel tank is from Boyds Welding and uses a ZL1 fuel pump. I'm just about to the more fun parts. So far it's been all cutting, fitting, welding, blasting, and painting. Just making messes.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...581583721a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b69ad6c40.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7107c2d401.jpg

Very nice...

I rebuilt all the factory suspension and coated it with Steel-It paint (really good stuff). I converted the truck to 5 lug and used square body spindles and disc brakes up front. The rotors were branded Brembo and were 30 bucks at Rockauto. A set of decent KYB shocks, a rebuilt steering box from Blue Top and some 19/20 Halibrands round out the chassis. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bfe5f89827.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bb9d347bdf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...24632ce020.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...59c14457eb.jpg

The motor is a 5.3 with gen 4 rods and forged pistons. I'm using the Summit Ghost cam, stainless LSA manifolds, Sts-v blower and a 150 shot of nitrous. A Holley Terminator runs it. Trans is a built 4l80e.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...22d9e56ea1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...65a8f1a8e0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8b7ef0c6ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fd6377e0f9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...675f505713.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4775c6f9c5.jpg

Looks like a fun project. Keep us updated.

I'm using an electric booster from a Chevy Bolt. The ac hardline patterns were sent to VA and came back perfect.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e003bfa1dd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d4d57426dc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...52d27b4022.jpg
