My name is Steven and I am new to the c/10 lifestyle. I have never owned a truck before, let alone a classic one. I recently purchased my 68 Chevy c/10 with a 5.3/4L60e swap. The guy i bought it from was going through a financial hardship and had already done most of the work to the truck. The cab corners, and rocker panels have been replaced as well as removing the gas tank from the rear seat and welding off the factory filler location.

I will have tons of questions about building my truck to my liking and figured this was the best place to seek out the help from fellow chevy truck enthusiast.

I have owned several nice cars, in my mind, in the past and love to learn new things about different types of vehicles.

Here are some photos as the trucks sits at the moment. He did most of the body work and had the cab and bed already painted, so i may as well paint the front end to match, and enjoy the truck the current color it is before taking it all apart and going with a two tone orange/white cheyenne look.





















I'll try post some other pics in the next few days.

I have tons of questions and am currently kinda lost as to where to start. Any advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

I want to first get it running, but ultimately I want to do a turbo setup.

Got my new radiator support, but the radiator I got from a friend doesn't really fit that well, I'm kinda thinking about buying a RnD radiator and shroud kit, but they sure are pricy!








I could've sworn that these came with the led boards as specified when I placed the order but no luck, I'll have to call Fesler and double check.






And some more goodies arrived.

Alper Motorsports billet 3bolt to 4bolt TB adapter





New GM 90mm ls7 style Throttle Body


Lokar flexible aluminum trans dipstick
