ss04Flores Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Alright ppl like the title said. While i was at mexico for my cousin's fifthteen this weekend my father suprised me with a 1968 c10 yesterday morning. Its candy green but still needs work done to it. He picked it up for $1,200. I would say he ripped the guy off haha. Will post pics later. My question is what should i do to it. any ideas? were can i get parts for it???? I wanna keep the look as original as possible. With the exeption of the drop and 20's or 22" Its a V6 with a 4 speed manual tranny. I eventually wanna swap a V8. Any suggestions will be appreciated...

wishminewasanss Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Nice pickup you made! Good price, I've being looking for a c-10 but out here they run too high. I think a member on here has/had a c-10 fully restored, and looked nice! Let's see some pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenWaSS Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sweet deal...I've owned two 70's, one long bed and one step side wide box. Of course I sold both of them, wish I still had them. The long bed was a CST-10 with a BB 402 with automatic trans and the wide box was a C-10 came with a straight six, though we swapped it out for a BB 396 backed with a Muncie 4-speed, that was a fun truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 If I had a 68 and some $$$, I would go something like this! (at least on the technical side anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
