My main truck I have had for 24 years now.

Sweet72 · 01-04-2004, 01:04 AM

Bought my truck in May 1995, and used it for everyday transportation 'till May 2000, at which time I decided it was time to Sh!t or get off the pot (read that as: sell for parts or do a full resto.). Cab had holes in floor and frame had bad case of surface cancer. This thing eats up so much of my free time, but I really enjoy the he!! out of it. Can't wait till she's done.

I bought mine in '85 in Cypress, Tx. Brought it to Ohio in '86 and watched it rust on me as I drove it all year long. Decided to restore it in '93. Haven't driven it since then. Rebuilding as I get the money and time. Doesn't cost anything to sit in the garage. It won't be long now. (I hope).

tomsC10R · 01-05-2004, 03:38 AM

About a month and a half

VTKidder · 01-05-2004, 11:05 AM

Mixup · 01-05-2004, 01:17 PM

7 years. It's not done and probably won't ever be. There is always something.

Blue Beard · 01-05-2004, 03:23 PM

Just over a year, and still working on it....

Smooth68 · 01-05-2004, 03:35 PM

Around 7 years and still have yet to drive it down the road!

gotmud · 01-05-2004, 06:28 PM

My 68 C10 was my grandads who bought it new. My dad got it in 84 and I got it in 2002. When I was a tike @ 72-73 I use to drive it on the farm to knock down his corn in the corn fields with it. What a blast!
