My son has been asking for us to build a truck together. This fell in my lap yesterday and will be dropped off today. 1963 c-10 long bed. Long beds are not very popular, but you can not complain about free.
It has a running inline 6, but I see a 350 in it's future.

Frame was stripped to bare metal and we used POR15 on it.

We got a donor truck. A 78 silverado and put the front end on it. This gives us disc brakes, rubber bushings and power steering. We put all new bushing, ball joints and tie rods in it.

I had him weld all of the holes up except the 3 that I need. You can not tell they were ever there.
He always tells me to bring him business, so if you are interested shoot me a PM. This truck had a lot of body work This was a ranch truck that was beat up. He charged me 3k for everything.
