Nice Arne! A C10 has always been on my mind for a toy…
Well Rob, just like all my retirement projects, this one will be for sale when it's done. ETA late spring or early summer 2023. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

One more pic for today...

Up next, Project #6 - 1964 Chevy C-10

Should be picking up a stalled project tomorrow. A '64 C-10 short step side. Converted to a 305 V8 (5.0L) and a overdrive manual transmission. Not as fast as it looks or as it will sound, so I hesitate to call it a "hot" rod -- maybe it's a warm rod.

This will be a new experience for me, I do NOT need to paint this one! Oh happy day!



This brings back memories. I had a 65 Fleetside with a 292-6 and 3 speed w/OD. I put 300K on that engine then gave it to my yardman after I dropped a 327-300 in it. He drove the 292 for another 5 years then he died but that damned engine was still running. I used to go thru all 6 gears using hi/lo just to turn heads. Sell it before the tranny needs planetary gears. They're scarce IIRC. GLWS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I bought it on a bit of a whim, as (like the FJ40 a while back), it is well outside my normal range. It just looked like an easy rescue.

But the farther I go on it, the cooler it gets. I'm having a lot of fun building it.

No planetaries in this 'box. It's a somewhat rare 4 speed manual with 4th gear as an 0.75 overdrive. Looks and shifts like a Muncie 4 speed. Not good for high HP/torque applications, but fine behind this mostly stock 305.

More parts today. Gonna transform the steering...

The new power rack is installed, fed by a Volvo electric hydraulic pump. Nothing old school here.

And the seat got new foam and covers, too.

Almost done. All that's left is new A/C, the parts for which should arrive late next week.

A/C install is complete. Evac and charge scheduled for next week.

Then just a few minor touch up items. I plan to attend a local American Classic show and cruise on June 3rd, with a For Sale sign in the back window.

The A/C was charged a couple of weeks ago, and—as they say in all the car ads—blows COLD.

Took some time to squash a couple of small bugs, and I'm now declaring it to be finished. I will clean it up a bit, do a few final touch-ups, and then start marketing it. Considering BaT, but we haven't agreed on a reserve yet.

Accepted by BaT earlier this week. Should go live in 3-4 weeks, so they say.

GLWTS. Turned out sweet. If it had an 8’ bed I would buy it.

Still waiting. Despite BaT's early promise of 3-4 weeks, I figure I've got another 2 weeks or more. Definitely a bit of less-than-honest time estimates from them.
