Re: My 68 c10
Hey, I love the way the truck is coming along!! Looks great. I have a quick question. What kind of lowering set up did you use on the truck? I have a stock 72 LWB and I want the ride height to look just like yours. Can you tell me what you did to achieve that look? Also, where did you get your 700r4? I picked up a used one that was rebuilt and I have had nothing but problems with it. I paid 750 for it. I am wishing I saved some more and purchased a brand new one. Can you tell me where you picked up yours? thanks a ton.. keep up the good work. Like you I started working on old trucks with my dad, 46 chevy truck, now I am into one of my own. Still learning too...

Re: My 68 c10
i know its not 67-72 related but my buddy of mine wanted a roll pan for a 04 chevy so i did it for him it was my first roll pan job and looks great i didnt warp the metal and came out straight i was proud of my first roll pan job

Here's some pics I took of Jesse working on Crooked.
He was still working on it when I went home at 5:00.
