My New 1969 LWB
Here are some pics of my new 1969 C10 LWB my 1st classic vechile. My wife and I named her "Belle" short for "Memphis Belle". She has a 250 inline 6 with 3 on the tree that runs strong but could use some adjustment. No power steering or power brakes and 6 lug wheels. I plan on keeping her stock with some modifications...
First projects are changing the oil pan gasket, and adjusting the monojet carb and then giving the motor a degrease bath. Then onto the interior. Eventually I want to build up the 250 motor some maybe with a new 390 carb and some new manifolds and exhaust. Time and money will tell. |

Re: My New 1969 LWB

Re: My New 1969 LWB
Well it's solid and straight for the most part...the body is okay..it has thick bondo in areas but I'll get to that later. I was looking for a truck to take hunting and go to Lowes or Home Depot on the weekends for stuff for the house and when I saw this I said I think I found it. My wife wants to enter it in to Overhaulin, but I don't know if they are still doing that show or taking applications the link for the application is broken. So for now I will be doing the work when money and time permit it. I'm glad I found it and it is a hoot to drive.

Re: My New 1969 LWB
Delo69
 and  from Ohio. I think 69-70 trucks rocks. Looks like you have a great truck to start your new hobby with. Great choice in trucks as going to lowes is a 69 is way cooler then going to lowes in an 89. JMHO
