Have been experiencing a bobble while applying the throttle after a high speed coast. Timing chain was waisted. Running alot better now.

Picked up a 69 C10 this weekend to go along with my 77 K10. Yes it’s a long bed, I can live with that since it’s in good shape for a 69. I really like it’s patina, so a short bed conversion would end up ruining that. Not to mention, a long to short bed conversion can be pricey. It will need cab corners and rockers on both sides, most trucks of this vintage do. Not sure what direction I want to go with it yet. It has a 350, (not running) and 3 spd standard trans. Thinking for starters I will make it run/drive/stop and drive it as is for awhile. Then down the road do a full frame off with LS conversion. Only time will tell.


Man you got all the toys, nice! :)

Clear coat is here. This will be the next big project on the 69.

Wired up the 69s low beams as daylight driving lights. They turn on with key in the run position. Same way I have my 77 wired up.
