Picked up this beauty on Monday, planning a full restore.

'68 C10 Longbox
307
3 speed

 

full restore....or resto-mod?

 

I think it's just going to be a full restore. Depends really on how much work the motor needs. It's been sitting in a field for nearly 20 years, but it turns over by hand. If I do anything to the motor, it'll probably be to bore it out to 4" and make it a 327, which was the other motor you could get in this particular truck, if I do drivetrain mod, I may put in a 4 speed. I'll have to see what kind of shape everything is in as I tear it down.

Regardless, the motor will have a little work, heads, cam, carb, intake, etc, but I want to make it as period correct as possible.

 

drop in a 5.3 or 6.0
