Oh how I can relate to that last post ^^^

Just got my 62 C10's 235 started...

sold the 235 so now I have to get the 283 ready for the swap.

Then do something about all this rustina.

 

Love this thread! I'm hoping to lock up a 66 in the next few days! This thread is making it even worse...no way I'll be able to haggle with the guy!

 

235 / 4 speed out and empty frame rails...

 

here is my heap!!

 

Super clean anymore pics

 

Here's one of mine...sold it earlier this year after owning it for over 12 yrs., and having it survive a divorce. Loved this truck (still do), but it had too many 'ghosts'...

 

Here is my 64. I'm in the process of a few changes....pictures to follow later....

 

Nice truck Cori.

 

So I started with this.


and now I have this. I still have 1 month before its on the road.

 

Nice!

Later,Bill

 

new to me 66 60 series

 

You know, what other 50-year-old vehicles can you still find regularly in junk yards?
There's half a dozen fresh arrivals in the local junkyard by my house, and they show up at Pull-a-part regularly too.
I've gotten rust-free fenders, doors, hoods, inner fenders, and a lot of mechanical parts I've needed over the last 5 years.
'67-up truck show up frequently too.
Can't do that with any other vintage vehicle that I'm aware of.

Been working on this 61 for a fellow Hamber.Finally turning into a truck.

 

Well, I'm finally almost ready to start the body work. I filled all the trim holes, frenched in some 50 pontiac tail lights, pulled the motor and trans, clean up the front of the frame and painted it so I can put on the new front cross member and disk brakes. Yes, I know my welds were too high...






Here's the frame before, pretty nasty


Soooo smooth

 

This is from the Evil Knievel exibit at the Harley Davidson museum in Milwaukee.

 

Not around here in Santa Fe. It seems when the older vehicles show up, they go straight to the crusher for scrap metal. There are a few that show up in the U-Pull-It in Albuquerque, but by the time I get to them, they are skeletons. You're very lucky where you are...

By the way... very cool trucks have showed up on here since the last time I saw this thread. Nice!! I'm glad so many others dig my favorite body style... CHINGON!

 

That filler panel below the tailgate, and license plate surround are VERY nice. That totally finishes off the back of the truck.
Excellent.

one i saved of a field where it sat for 27 years, 65 with 327 and 3 on the tree

 

Any chance you ever see the 60 -61 hoods and would like to help me acquire one for my 62 project?

I've never had a decent shot at one of these since the salt long since ate anything usuable around here and the freight usually stands in the way for anything out West.

Thanks for your consideration.
Bob

 

That shot of Knievel is way cool. Check out this video for a trip down memory lane for us older farts: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...37B4DB4F2FA6609A25D&first=0&qpvt=evel+knievel

 

Finally got around to dropping the front end a little more, I like these trucks with a aggressive rake. I think it is because of the offset wheel well heights.

 

Progress, just to bad it's sold told the guy I would get the bed back together. Only problem no is that I'm falling in love again haha

 

Looks clean man, i dig the tail lights....
