66 C10 stepside

[jduffy01]

Well I decided to buy my bro's truck. He bought it 10+ years ago and has barely driven it do to a screwed up back. It looks pristine in the pics cause they are 10+ years old. The good is zz4 crate motor with 2200 miles, muncie 4 spd, camaro front clip, and a 12 bolt rear with 4.10s and a posi. The bad is it needs some rust repair on the lower front fenders, has newer buckets and a crappy roll pan with vette lights. I dont actually have it home yet but am already buying parts and planning. I grabbed a 64 bench that i am reupholstering myself and i started working on my shifter. I plan on going with a flat black cherry and putting my hobby farm logo on the door. I am also debating a wood bumper for the rear cause nothing is more hillbilly than a wood bumper. Anyway here's some pics and I will keep updating as I go. I forgot to mention the best part, my bro sold it to me for $3000

Here's the seat, not sure on the cover but probably a saddle blanket seat cover. The second pic is the shifter, yeah its a real shotgun.

Watch the door checks, they are notorious for coming loose and giving the door that trademark crease from hitting the fender.
Nice score BTW, I love that it's a 4 speed.

I will for the most part. The paint is bubbling were there is rust, so I have to repair that. I wont spend the money to pay for a real paint job and i dont have the right kind of shop to do it myself, beides I am going to drive it not show it and paint jobs dont hold up in the rust belt. I just cant live with the roll pan and I want a bench so when my pup hits 150lbs he can still ride with me. He wont fit in bucket seats.

Yeah - that roll pan would be the first thing to go.
