  1. It was a maroon color, that's actually the same paint job that when I sold it in 1990! Haven't had any luck finding a builder yet
  2. I had to upload all my pictures to Google photos so I included the link for the album https://photos.app.goo.gl/yIVM9TniRZrd1j3P2
  3. I managed to score a 1960 GMC with a 1965 hood so that's a great start check out the pictures, I just need someone to take it from here You can check out all the other photos here on my album
  4. I was lucky whenever I get my 1st pick up which is a 1962 Chevy c10 fleet side that I had gotten from my uncle who bought it in 1962 straight off the car lot he kept it under a carport and only drove it back and forth to the store. So when I got it for my 15th birthday, that was in 1985 he passed away a few months earlier so my parents bought it for $500, it was all original I had a folder which had the original build sheet, every registration, every oil change and the only parts he had to put on was a water pump and a starter on the original 283/powerglide. I was working under it and had a Jack failure about 3 months after my 16th birthday resulting in a C4 neck injury causing quadriplegic. I kept it for a couple of years afterwards, I putted out at a friends house up on blocks and after about 2 years we went back out there but a fresh battery on it, a little starter fluid and on about the 3rd crank it fired right back up. A friend of mine was in engine builder and gave me a cam from a 327 that came out of the Corvette to put into it, I was lucky my mother worked at Champion Rebuilders so she could get me any part so I got the cam, she got me new pushrods, a new 650 carburetor, and I was racing it so hard I Burning up the generators, yes I said generators! But I sold it to a friend of mine which in turn she sold it to her brother who kept it for this whole time and when he passed away he gave it to his son which they were supposed to fix it up together, I've tried to buy it back from the bay he's not budging because he saying that was his dad's truck that they were going to fix up together. So that's the back story on what I want to do as far as a model goes. In the picture the only thing that he did to it was changed to drivetrain and the wheels, everything else as far as the paint and interior was the same as when I sold it to him So what I'm looking for someone to build me a custom 1962 Chevy c10 fleet side, I know I would have to use a AMT 1960 GMC pickup cab, to get the wraparound windshield and also the big back window, and the 1964 hood and grill. I have all the list of everything that I wanted to do as far as the colors, wheels and tires, engine drivetrain. So I'm looking for someone that can build me one. I'll include a picture of my original truck.
