1969 Chevrolet C-10

About This Vehicle:

Was my first vehicle ever, got it for working for my step father over the summer building our house. Cost $1100 and the guy drove it up from Omaha, NE. Originally came with a three-on-the-tree and a 260 inline V6. My dad and I built a small block 331 and a Borg Warner Super T-10 4 speed trans and converted it. I gotta admit, it was a very fun truck to drive, I miss it some times. Surprised a lot of people for how heavy the truck was, how small of a motor it had and how fast it could be. It was a fun project for me and my dad for my first vehicle. I wouldnt trade the memories of this thing for anything.
