This time round, we decided to do a “Truck”.
We had a few options to go with between a Dodge D200, F100 and a C10.
We settled on building the 1969 Chevy C10 SWB.

The truck overall is in good shape and rust free. The chassis has had some “creative” fixes done to it over time.

We purchased it with a Chevy LM7 motor, which is a 5.3l cast iron V8. It also came with a 4L80 gearbox.

The idea is to build a updated truck with slightly more modern suspension bits, upgraded brakes, aircon and power steering. Looks wise, we’ll still settle on colours etc later on, but if we could land up with something like this, we’d be happy.

These are the wheels we would prefer for it, but after a few pricing exercises they may land up on a wish list only.

Having gone through a “LS” build before, we opted to rather purchase a running vehicle and managed to source this 2006 Chevy Lumina SS.

The car took a hard knock on its side. However it still drives, is completely stock with 120k km’s on the clock with a full service history.
