Anyone here built a very nice street truck ground up there self?

[brans87]

I am in process of building my wife a 67 C10 short bed and well little over my head with order things need to go to put it back together correctly and very nicely!

This is a truck we plan on keep for a very long time and I want it done correctly.

So has anyone fully rebuilt one there self from ground up? Not talking actual painting it but complete frame,body going back together interior thins of that nature.

Looking for info and tips.

Frame is roller and all body parts were media blasted and primed.

Thanks for helping me out.

I guess that I am not imaginative enough to understand what you are looking for.
I could use more definite questions.
I feel that I have 2 very nice street trucks, but not show trucks.
Here is a picture from about 1997 when I used my '72 C10 to haul the cab for my '70 home from paint. The '72 went all the way down to the frame in late '02.... somewhere I have a pic of what it looks like now.

Following along. I will be doing the same thing to a 1959 Chevy Apache next year. I spent this year gathering parts and ideas. I'll start on the chassis after I get settled into my new house next month.

I prefer to build them ground up and drag them through rocks.

My 2wd C10 build (Sancho) is not going to be a frame off like the K10 was.
