Steve, you come from out west, I don't think you know the kind of crap people have to work with in the east. My opinion is it may be in your best interest to find your project vehicles out west and just go get them. That's what I have been doing for the last 30 years and it is worth the time and money for me. I had a brother in NM that chased the cars down , then I go get them. Or just pay shipping, probably 1500-1600 bucks to ship one east, you're right along I 40 , that's a good thing for shipping. . You will spend twice that on just a few body panels on this truck. Myself I would look for a good running used engine and trans and do the rattle rebuild. I wouldn't use the 350/400 in this build., rebuild the factory brakes and suspension, get it running and driving safely and let it go to a new owner. The rust areas you see look rough, it's the stuff that's hidden, that's the ass kicker. To you or me it looks ROUGH! to people on the east coast they see it and say WOW!, this truck is in great shape. Just doing the get it driving safely content would carry you to the good weather in your video. Don't get discouraged..... it's supposed to be fun.........well at least it is, when you look back on it when it's done. Later,. Steve name this project CHILLER, bet Sarah would agree, no??????

Pull the front clip.

Typical Back Yard, Jack off mechanic. I love it! He's real & Just like me. MORE VIDEOS, Pal! Love your test stand!

Get it running and when your garage is built take it apart and build it.

Well...how bad is the rest of the truck I mean if you're pulling apart to upgrading to power disc brakes many aftermarket manufacturers make replacement parts for those c/10's so depends on what your planning for the truck personally if I was doing it I repair all of the rust then drop the engine in it 😊

Always good to meet a fellow Tennessean. Hope you are liking it here

I would pull the front clip and find a better one to put on. You can buy those inner fender wells and rad support as reproductions but they won't fit as good as original GM. That would fix that front but that firewall has problems and I hope the floor is still good. You might have to use your AZ contacts for a rust free front end or search local wrecking yard there. You could call Chad at Nobody's Auto in Great Bend Kansas he would probably have all you need, Road Trip!

Being cold and so r have your shop up yet, me personally I’d drop the motor in and go then fix it when you can do it in your shop. Either way I’m in 😂 Keep up the good work!! 😊

I would pull the front clip, patch the rusted spots, & bolt it back on. Then wire wheel, degrease & rattle can the firewall & inner fenders. On radiator support either repair the one you have or find a good original. The foreign made repop core supports are thin & tack welded junk (don't ask me how I know). My two cents.

Get you one of those portable Canvas Garages. Work outta that until you get your main shop built. Pressure wash the engine bay Rattle can Paint. The engine Bay. Stick the motor in, get it rolling. Let it be a working process. Build off of that until you get your big shop

Remove inners an leave um off for now. Can always put some back on later. Patch anything visible paint it an stick the motor an trans in it. Hello from Colorado 🤷‍♂️

Throw the motor in it, get it running. If its a keeper fix it all up later!!!

I would repair the weight loss metal good enough so it doesn't rattle & shake goin' down the road. Put patches in, etching primer & then Turbo Spray paint can it. That stuff is great ! YeeHah...

I like the patina look.

Put the heat core in it and put the motor in it and brakes

Throw that engine and trans in it and then repair it a little at a time if your going to make it a shop truck, it kinda needs to be right.

Add metal for anything significant structural, don’t get crazy. Get it on the road as a shop truck.

LOOKING GOOD YOU GUYS PRESSURE WASHER & PAINT GOOD AS NEW ! 😁✊✌

that's common on those trucks for rotting out how's the bottom of the passenger side fender

if i remember there's a clip holding the clutch pedal on

on my 71 you can still use the peddles that are in the truck you can slide the clutch pedal out

Do it the right way. You know what will happen with both directions you can go. Either you want to save it and fix all the problem areas before they progress to major problems or you want to rush it and throw it together for a joy ride until it falls apart then you either scrap it or take it all back apart and fix more problems that got way worse. I think you are smart enough to know the right way to do it I can tell it is eating at you but look at the pulse side it will give you a lot more content doing it the right way. My vote is a easy one, Fix all the areas that will be a pain in the ass when everything gets in the way after install. I just did the exact same thing to my 66 nova wagon. Regardless you will be a lot more happy with yourself if you keep it or sale it knowing you did not leave it to die aka rush to get it driving. In the end you do you I wish you the best. Oh and I know it sucks but man it is nice to see another builder working outside in this shit, I been doing builds going on over twenty years all year long in Colorado from 110 to -10 temps I am right there on the driveway lol P.S learn to always have big slabs of cardboard for the ground work amazon will be your best friend for that lol take care.

If this is a keeper, fix it right. Metal work on fire wall. Replace the other parts. What's your gut say? What does Sarah say? 😊

Sray and line wrenches work wonders.

Yes you will. 🎉lol.

👀👍🏼😎 Nice!! I've been trying to decide on the one you installed or the quick silver. Great build your doing 🏁🏁🏁

Sounds to me like there's still a lot of decisions to be made on the future of this truck. Step 1... who's the truck for? Step 2... what do they want it to loo like? Step 3... build it to their desires. I can tell you what I would do...

Make it a driver first then if it's a keeper fix the sheet metal later

Coming from someone who's spent decades in the construction industry... please wear safety glasses next time. Only one set of eyes my man <3

You and snidertron are going to freeze to death. You will both have some pretty nice projects your wives can sell. Fix it if at all possible.

To me, I would fix the rust. There are plenty of parts available and you will be glad that you did it when you had the chance. The rad support for the 67 & 68 are different then the 69 thru 72, I made that mistake while building my 68. - Rocky

It's not that hard to do, make it right as you can if your girl is going to drive it.

My 65 and 76 k10s with quadrajets start right up in -7 degrees chevys are the best

If I had your skills I'd pull the front clip and fix the firewall. You won't be happy knowing that cancer is hidden back there. Sounds like good content whatever you decide. Seeing you working in the snow and wind inspires me to get out in the shop. At least it's dry.

I would take off the front clip and fix it. 67-72 c10 are worth fixing. Stab the engine in. Fix the rest after the shop is up. In fact the shop should be the highest priority. Your not in warm and dry Arizona any more. Really like your channel.

Really depends if your going to keep it on how far you wana go

How are the floor pans? Window frame? Door bottoms? Cab corners? Bed floor? The answer rests in those questions. Can Marketplace be your path to replacement parts? You are the artist, but the real boss has a vision for a successful end result.

Bet you're missing the dry weather right now. You might as well do it right, because you know you aren't gonna sell it. Lol

Go get your harbor tool freight tent and heater and work on it it'll make good content it'll make Sarah happy and just restore it

Fix it now while you con

Pull it Do it now while it's Mt Weld in patch panels and seam seal

I like your work, and I feel that you have the right plan. If it were me, I would clean the engine just enough to be able to work on , be proud to open the hood. You already know your motor is ready, and trans. I guess your only problem is creating a trans mount set up. Love your work.

I have one right here (1971 GMC) once you pull it apart, you're going to find those weld in nuts rusted, breaking body bolts, many time consuming issues. I started this one last April. I'm still working on this thing "DACoutBack". I'm almost there. I should have been finished by now but have had about 4 or 5 months in engine issues.

I would fix it if you plan on keeping it for a long time.

Fix it definitely! If you ever need any help, tools, etc my dad’s shop is right next door!

The truck is for your wife take out the rust and make it right for your wife. And safe for her

Hi. Good Talk

Looks like you're going to be doing a shit ton of metal fabrication 😂. Good luck 👍

Get it mechanically sound then open the can of worms 😂

My opinion would be to fix inner fender well and core support atleast,rattle can it and enjoy. Its a old chevy it deserves it,but whatever you decide ill be watching and liking carry on with the great videos bro chevy rules lol.
