Default My '68 C-10

Well guys here she is. Ran in to some trouble yesterday regarding the title, basically when it was purchased no one verified the VIN

so they got it worked out and Im now the proud owner of a 1968 C-10

its got a 350, performer intake, carter carb, and a 4L60e, rebuilt with shift kit no radio, no A/C just a couple of those minor things I plan to do. Also truck has what looks like Belltech lowering coils. Also true dual exhaust and some SlowBastards on it, and some ROCKIN Eagle Alloy wheels... Gonna get it on a lift tomorrow and take a good look at it. No leaks other than a possible small power steering seep, trucks gettin some new rubbers tomorrow as well :shift:
First mods, some tint, and a kill switch... Gigitty gigitty gigitty




(and yes, I apologize, its a 70 grill and marker lights)


(hah, sorry about my dad's goofy face..)

(possible differential work? and yes I think its a Blazer tank)

Thanks guys. Got it on a lift today, the notch() is made of what looks like a half a pipe? haha its pretty haggared but they put reinforcements around it so its not all bad. Pan hard bar is custom, belltech springs, cant tel how low it is but its a decent mount. Front end needs some bushings. Also little concerned, the front end likes to wander, not sure if its the steering column or not yet and the left rear brake cylinder is leaking :/
