The C-10 Pick-ups

More and more I find myself thinking about building a C-10 Pick Up. I've owned a few over the years and looking back I could kick myself for letting them go. There's a lot of truth to "You don't know whatcha got till it's gone".
A good friend of mine bought a 1970 4x4 Pick Up about the same time I bought my Camaro. I have to admit,he got a fantastic deal on this truck. He's my expert on this style of pick up.

I first fell in love with this style of Chevy when I was 16 years old. A lady pulled into the gas station I was working at and I just started drooling. After asking if I could check it out and get a real good look at it I was hooked. It would be a couple years till I actually owned one for myself though. I remember putting a steering wheel from a 76 Trans Am in it. Buck seats. I put a 350 from a fire damaged 70 Chevy short box in the truck and as far as I was concerned I was good to go!

This 67 is a pic I came across somewhere out there on the net. I love the lowered look and the 20 inch wheels. While some may say this look takes all the class out of this Chevy, I appreciate the time and effort people put into building any hot rod project.

Here's the same style of pick up without being lowered. They both look great. You can't deny that the old C-10's are one of the best trucks that came off the assembly line. I've even seen a 69 Chevy 4x4 with a box from a 89 Chevy Step side on it and it looked like that's how it rolled out the assembly plants doors.
