Re: 1968 c10 dually crossbreed thing!!

Special-k, both trucks had good and bad. The gmc was a tennesee truck i found in new york, it had a nice body, but the frame was cut and not put back together to well. It seemed to run well with no strange noises or smoking, but when i tore the motor down i found the block had cracks in the lifter valley. The short bed truck was an ex-show truck that was blown apart for a refresh when the owner passed away and then it got left in a field for a few years. That one had a nice frame and bed, but everything else was rotted and didnt have a motot or trans. Thats when i had the idea to use the best parts from each to make one. Seemed like a good idea at the time, lol, but that still only gave me about 40% of what i needed to complete it. Everything else had to be bought elsewhere.
