Really like the way you all redid this truck. Really like the white and blue and how the chrome looks along with the redline tires. Hope you all are still enjoying your c10. And thank you for taking the time to share. It is inspirational for me and my truck collection I am restoring
Freaking awesome job! Nobody realizes how much work it takes to make one right and you have done it! My Dad just did a 65 and it took several years butbit is amazing and the discipline it takes don't exist anymore! I just started on a 1970 c20 dually and converting it to a 1/2 ton shortbed. Well anyways this video is well appreciated!!!!!!!
No, keeping it old school and with the matching theme of with my 68 Camaro. The motor now is a 350, but I am already building a 68 327 small block so both 68s will have matching drivetrains as well in the end.
depends on what your goals are. If your wanting to go the full restoration route. Then start pulling the truck apart in sections, take pictures of how things come apart so you can reference later on when putting it back together. Bag nuts/bolts/screws and tag what they are for. There is alot of unique hardware used through out and some it not reproduced so best to save it all for when you put the truck together again. If your wanting to just get up and driving, tackle any leaks, do a complete fluid change of everything, maybe redo the brakes and replace any rubber fuel line or brake line as that stuff rots out from sitting. It all kind of depends on what your wanting to do. I drove this truck for a year before I tore into it and did the full restoration while I planned things out.
The long bed was pretty toast, the passenger side had been hit with a forklift, every stake pocket was cracked open, the inside of the bed showed it had been a farm truck. The insides were all dented up, wheel tubs were trashed, the metal bed floor was mangled. So the bed was going to have to be replaced and once I ran the numbers it was cheaper to shorten the truck. If they bed had been in better shape to save I would have left it a long bed.
@@camaroboy1968ss wow that’s crazy. I’m trying to take custody of what was once my dads 67 CST. My uncle has had sitting unused on his property for nearly 4 decades now. Luckily it’s in the arid southwest so fingers crossed...
@@FishBaitBlue Nice, hope you can get it. CST's are really nice trucks. Be prepared though for rust in the rockers/cab corners/kick panels. My truck spent all its life in So Cal until 3 years ago when it came to the NW when I bought it and it still had a few bad areas that needed attention.
maybe, but the amount of bodywork the box needed, it was not worth it. Pictures never really showed how bad it was. A forklift had hit it on one side and buckled both layers of the side. That hit also then dropped the load into the bed and just made a mess of the floor and tubs. Plus to me short beds are better than a long bed. I drove the truck as a long box for a bit and was tired of it.
It just factory Medium Blue Poly that was offered on these trucks. Look up a chip book page for a 67 Chevy pickup. They used the same colors in 68, even the page in a 68 ppg chip book says to refer to a 67.
Front is 2.5" CPP dropped spindles and then 2" lowering springs with half a coil chopped off. Rear is 4" drop springs, 2" lowering blocks, relocated shocks and then a adjustable track bar.
I like the picture of the owners at the end 🇺🇸

Bravo! What a ride, wish I had it and you had one nicer!
Your grandpa is amazing. Is he teaching you how to do this? I wish I had someone like that in my life. You're blessed.
Yeah he has taught me everything. This is our 10th or 11th restoration we have done. Most were flipper cars.
@@camaroboy1968ss give him an embrace of love from me. He is the grandpa that I never had. Take care of him my brother.

Well done!
Gorgeous! Love the recline tires with that color blue.
Great job, that's clean work I have a 69 and I did the same thing that's a lot of time and patience, My respects
Looks like the guy next door with the Ford is going to be intimidated 🤗🤓
Beautiful truck nice work subscribed!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
thanks! As soon as the weather here gets nicer, should have more videos coming with the C10 and the other classics in the garage.
Awesome! I'm doing something... thanks for all this...
Good job. I wouldn't have cut the frame like you did but that's just me.
All I can say is wow!!
Nice job, shoulda ditched the SBC for a 6.0 or 6.2 and T56 magnum. Nice shade of blue, same as mine. Shorty rules.

What’s wrong with the long bed?? Still a beautiful job - thanks for sharing

And another beautiful long bed gets hacked...it looks good, but it would've looked way better if you'd left the bed intact...long beds rule...

What shifter are you using on this? Looks great
The base is a Hurst Competition plus for a 68-72 Chevelle then the handle is for a 55-57 Chevy with a bench seat.
Awsome can you give us the blue paint code.

@@camaroboy1968ss thanks
Hi what suspension do you have. I would like to get the same stance on my 68 C10.
Front is 2.5" CPP dropped spindles and then 2" lowering springs with half a coil chopped off.
Rear is 4" drop springs, 2" lowering blocks, relocated shocks and then a adjustable track bar.
Thank you!
What color blue is that?
Stock 67/68 C10 Medium Blue Poly
You won't sell it, will you?
no, not currently for sale
Give me an account number and an address and I’ll be there tomorrow to pick it up 😂 whatever you want man say a price
Yeah I dont think there is a price right now that would get me to part with the truck.
Shame
