Little Blue Truck

Here is the transformation of the 1966 Chevrolet C10. Started and lived in Powderville MT until I agreed to take it and restore it. Since then, three years have passed and it is almost done.

Metal work included lots of dents, kick panels, forward floors, inner and outer rockers, cab mounts, cab corners.

New metal included front fenders and doors

New mechanicals included a FI 383, PS, PB, Disk brakes, 5 speed.

Edit. Ferris also has more about "Augustus" in his Project Journal. Good step-by-step of this restoration.

I think I just got the name for the truck. Seeing I am giving it homage to MT and Lonesome Dove, it seems only fitting to name the truck "Augustus."
