Hey guys,
New here and really glad I found this forum! This is my first truck out of a few classic muscle cars that Ive worked on. Still own a 1966 grand prix.
Im 22 and from NY. The truck is a 1966 c10 stepside...shortbed. The guy I bought it from told me he bought it from Columbia, South Carolina. After looking underneath I can tell from all that red southern mud that I am not used to, lol. I still have to decode the VIN to find more out about the truck.
I randomly stumbled upon this truck driving my cousin home and after I dropped him off had to get back to where the truck was parked to find the owner. Bought it about week and a half ago and already have it all stripped. Im uploading a photobucket album , although I didnt get a good full before photo, all Ive done is strip it so you can still see the excellent condition it was in.
zz3rodder pickup In the pics you can see that there wasnt a chevy motor in it, guy said it was a cadillac big block. After removing it I ran into the only problem I have with the truck as of now, a cut-up butchered front frame =(
The pics on the photobucket are crappy, and I apoloize for that. I have since bought a new camera to document the rest. I think the lens was messed up on the old one.
Ill be posting a link to a full build thread and hopefully you guys can chime in with some advice on the my problem area of the frame and to get a good laugh at what a butch job it was.
