Ask and you shall receive... By popular (well by the standards |
|
of a forum with only 65 members) demand here she is, my new tow |
|
rig. Well I just bought it over the weekend and still have to |
|
get it home. The truck is a '67 Chevy C10 straight outta |
|
Nashville. |

Notice International Harvester cab lights, kickass a-pillar |
|
spotlights, gun rack, fork lift holes (haybale spikes) in the |
|
side of the bed, and authentic bullet hole in the tailgate... |

Plans include fixing any structural rust (the frame is |
|
beautiful,) clearing the body, lowering it, and replacing the |
|
bed floor with wood. That's all I got for now, more to come when |
|
I get her home. |

Is that a factory ac truck? |
|
Spoiler alert, your truck probably has coil springs on the front |
|
ND REAR, which makes building an air ride setup super easy |

I honestly have no clue. To tell you the truth I paid zero |
|
attention to weather or not it even had AC. |
|
LOL yeah it definitly has coils on the rear and air may very |
|
well be coming. |

Thanks man. I definitely plan on keeping it way more simple than |
|
my other build. I have lots of ppl ask if I'm gonna paint it and |
|
I tell them I would be sad to see it get painted. It took it |
|
almost 50 years to look this cool and gain all this character... |

I would undercoat it... |
|
Spray down the outside with oil to prevent more rust |

Check out the weathering on the tailgate - was this thing on its |
|
side for the past 20 years or something? |

Not sure how it wound up like that. The guy I bought it from |
|
said that it was daily driven until a few years ago by his uncle |
|
in TN. |

I wouldn't mind going diesel with it but in sticking with my |
|
budget/simple build the engine that I would have to go with is |
|
the pos gm 350 diesel engine since it would be a drop in. I |
|
think the 283 should do just fine for now. |
