Sold the 68 this week. The good thing is, she's with her sister in New Orleans. I know Chris will show both of them the love they deserve. Oh well on to the next project!!

Man...it would be hard to let go of such a nice truck.

But hey, now you get to build another.

Congrats to the new owner.

C10_ustacould · 08-10-2013, 12:44 PM

Was this the intent all along or was it a number you couldn't pass up? No matter why, that fella got a VERY nice truck!

67_C-30 · 08-10-2013, 12:46 PM

It wouda been tough to let that one go!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-10-2013, 02:50 PM

Damn another nice one down the road.. Congrats on the sale whats next?

**lolife99** · 08-10-2013, 03:34 PM

Congrats on completing the deal!

Jeff didn't tell you the new owner had trailer issues and drove his green '68 from Horn Lake, Mississippi,... back to Louisiana.
(truck only had 62 miles on the build)

It will now be reunited, with Jeffs other build.
The red '85 stepside.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-10-2013, 03:36 PM

Someone now owns two very serious rides congrats...

Andy4639 · 08-10-2013, 03:38 PM

If these are it's sister can I be adopted!

Very nice...the truck that is!

In The Ten Ring · 08-10-2013, 06:18 PM

So if I get my truck fixed up, will it grow a Hooter girl pit crew like yours did?

Super looking truck!

72BlckButy · 08-10-2013, 07:02 PM

Congrats on the sale Jeff.

You can tell its a quality build when it only has 62 miles on it and it will make a haul like that.

hot trux · 08-11-2013, 09:03 AM

thanks guys, was not my intent to sell the green truck so quickly after the build, but the guy who bought my red stepside wanted it also. So i shot my mouyh off with a price and he said sold. I found a 66 impala wagon about 6 weeks ago and bought it. Pulled the 396 out (yes factory 325 hp 396 ac no power steering) and detailed engine bay and repainted engine,new water pump,radiator and fixing ac now. Ordered some Vintecs 20x8s and 10s, waiting on them now. Don't worry the emty garage bay will soon be filled with another C 10 project. .....Like today!

You build clean (& reliable) trucks. The guy that bought it has damn good taste. Hooter's claims their wings are world famous. They're famous for something better,IMO!!

Oh that is a NASTY tease!

crawdadfox · 08-11-2013, 12:32 PM

I drove the truck most of the 400 mile trip. After putting around 50 easy miles on it I dropped the hammer and it was never under 80 mph the rest of the really late night! The truck ran and handled great and will be a "nice day" driver for its new owner here in New Orleans.

swamp rat · 08-11-2013, 08:15 PM

Wish you were closer, I'd try and hire you to do some work for me!

So the new owner is one of your buddies, but not a member of the forum?

Here's a few bigger pics of the '66 wagon.
This is such a cool old original car, with great patina!

You would have to see the old engine bay pics, to realize how much work was done here.
Jeff's normal base/clear engine paint job has to be seen to believe.
Super nice.
CPP disc brakes and drop spindles were added along with a Wilwood M/C and adjustable prop. valve.

Low Elco · 08-12-2013, 07:54 AM

Congrats on the sale! Don't ya hate when you throw out a number and they bite? Ummmm... wait a minute..... Shaggin wagon looks cool!

c10Dream'n · 08-12-2013, 09:09 AM

I can hear it now in the GodFather's voice.."He gave me an offer I couldn't refuse"!!!!! Congrats on the sale.
Now maybe I can follow along from the beginning on your next project.

**CC69Rat** · 08-12-2013, 11:28 AM

You build some killer trucks / cars man ! What's next on the list? For me 99% of the fun is building them. Make some $ and move on.

**lolife99** · 09-06-2013, 11:36 PM

Just a little update on Jeff's '66 big block Impala wagon,...
20" Billet Specialties Vintecs are here!
Just about ready to go,...

big_al_71 · 09-16-2013, 07:52 AM
