- Hey everyone!
In this video, I’m diving into the full story behind my classic 1969 Chevrolet C10, showcasing how this project came to life. This isn't just about the build-it's about the journey, the philosophy, and the passion behind it.
🚗 What’s Inside My C10:
Engine: 2002 Avalanche 5.3 LS motor (junkyard find) paired with a rebuilt 4L65E transmission.
Suspension: Static drop with drop spindles, cut coil springs, 3” drop rear springs, and 2” drop blocks.
Wheels & Tires: Currently 15” smoothy wheels with spacers, soon to upgrade to 17” steel wheels with 30” rear tires for that perfect cruise.
Body Mods: Long bed cut down to a short bed with a pieced-together stepside bed.
💡 Budget Breakdown:
Initial Truck: $1,500
LS Motor: $200
Transmission: $3,200 for a fully rebuilt unit
Driveshaft: $500
Drop Parts: $500
Brake Booster & Fuel System: $1,800 total
Sway Bars: $450
I’ll walk you through how I managed to keep costs down while making this truck uniquely mine. Whether you’re into classic trucks or just love a good restoration story, you’ll find inspiration here. Remember, it’s all about passion and making your ride your own, not about following trends or spending a fortune.
