Josh's 1968 C/10
"Nasty"
Here is my 1968 C10 truck that i bought as a project for my dad and me wile I was in Iraq in 2006. Right now, the outside is painted with a base coat black and no clear, and then the pinstriping is done in red. It has a '69 doghouse on it, but I put a '72 all chrome grille and billet insert on it. The wheels are staggered camaro rallyes (15x8's in the rear, 15x7's in the front) that have been powdercoated, added a beauty ring and a chrome center cap to them. My pops also put a brand new suspension from Southern KY Classics under it including a disc brake conversion, new shocks, springs, and drop spindles. The trucks has been lowered 5" all around. It was the lowest we could go without having to notch the frame. Truck handles excellent. When i bought it, i was told the truck had a 350 with 327 heads. After running the numbers on the block, i found out it has the factory 327 in it. The motor is worn out, the carb is junk, it leaks like an SOB, and has the power of Chevy Metro. I had always dreamed of having a Corvette powered truck, so i bought an LS1 out if an 01 SS Camaro. It has everything from the A/C to the ECU. I bought the Sir Micheal's roll pan and tailgate skin for it, and we have yet to replace the tailgate, but the pan is on. This truck means the world to me, and there is no amount of money out there i would sell it for. The truck was bought on Ebay from Iraq on my first deployment with the USMC. Not many people get that chance, and with the fact of how much the truck has brought my dad and me together, it will be a part of me forever.

Cardomain now lets you see what people rate you. If you're going to be a dick and leave one star, just leave my site. If I have left you one star, please let me know that means my account has been hacked. The only vehicle that deserves one star is the one that is owned by a dick.
To the Marines of yesterday, today, and tomorrow...
