Just stopped in to check on progress.. its going to be a beast no matter which way you decide to go

Picked up some patch material for the 64… Grandpa bob (aka my grandpas old dodge said he was up for a road trip) The irony of picking this up was I drove. 11 hours to North Dakota to pick up the truck and ended up in a subdivision… drove an hour to get this bed and it was in the middle of...

Looking good Bob, I would for sure use the old metal

Heck yes Bob! Always enjoy your builds

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzL9cJ9LTO8/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== I’m not sure if that will work… getting my head wrapped back around documenting things… haven’t done a good job since this build thread which photobucket ruined for me

I needed to move the truck… fired right up… rolled out of the garage and my wife was walking by… I said hey pretty lady want to go for a ride? she hopped in… she flipped her camera on we went around the church’s parking lot across the street… recorded me saying “I have no idea how much gas we...

One of the websites I was looking at to understand the fitment on the C10s had a post from a GM tech that said some GM dealerships will sell them to you that there is a “core charge” for them $1,000… Then another place said something about dealership were supposed to cut them up… so I don’t...

Here’s the transport wheels… and a c10 with them..

You might be right, the other ones I was thinking of I believe are spare tire rims on some factory trucks they are 20x8, the transport wheels are 22x9

Yeah no one does… the lower bedside will work… the bedsides are two piece where the carryall is one piece … we will see what happens when I start pulling and hammering on it… I should have brought a battery operated cut off wheel… I think I could have talked the guy I got it from into letting...

Plans as of now… I need to straighten out the other quarter panel… let me show u guys what I have been hiding… - Get the lights working… I might just rewire the whole thing off the bat… - rear gate latching… - new wheels and tires… I need to figure out sizing. I’m leaning towards big smooth...

Some glamour shots… I drove around the yard a bit.. first time I have ever had something with a column shift

Bob! I thought about you on the drive out there as we went through Minnesota, I thought to myself, I wonder how Bob is and how far we are from his place. I just looked, not far at all...I went and got the truck out of Bismark ND, it was quite a haul, but everything around here was rotten bad...

Here we go… [P

Here’s some house stuff I have been up too! Rebuilding the chimney… this has taken way longer then I expected, I stopped counting the number of bricks I replaced but it was nearing 50… the chimney cap I made out of an old bed frame some scrap mesh and a used piece of stainless steel sheet off...

I need another project like a hole in the head but the boss gave me the go ahead… going to pick it up in ND next Friday!! It’s a 64 c10 Carry all… I was torn between the late 50s and the early 60s ones… boss said she liked this body more… so done deal for me. I have looked a bunch of them and...

The truck has had a pretty gentle life,(95,000 miles on it) I intend to take care of it and not abuse it. It’s sat outside the last few years and that hasn’t been good for it. The paint is actually faded pretty bad in spots, the plastic hasn’t faired well, both the mirrors (the glass) has...

Lol that’s some bad luck Bama.. I printed the whole thread to pdf when they first said they were pulling this move, so I have all the content, and assuming my old computer boots up (based on your experience… maybe not) I still have all the photos. It just bums me out years of documenting the...

Grandpa got some new shoes!

I have tried to buy a suburban project twice in the last month, had the trailer hooked up and everything.. Both times the person sold them before I got there. One was a 62 and one was a 64... both had really good patina... I did get my grandpas 98 Ram back on the road, its been sitting for 5ish...
