So making more progress on putting my 68 C10 back together. I am waiting on a piece of replacement fender trim right now that is holding me up on putting the nose together, so moved to the inside and got the interior back together. It is pretty much complete only a few small things left to do in here, but its otherwise complete. Got the seat recovered at a local shop, had to take part of it apart to adjust the seat back as they are adjustable. I was worried that it wouldn’t match the rest of the interior but it all looks good once it was in the cab. So here is a complete set of pictures of the interior install that are also in older updates but compiled all together here.

I never cease to be amazed at the time, love, care, and attention to detail that I see displayed here by Oppos and their projects.

That’s going to be super sweet when it’s complete.

Very tidy. Is there an aftermarket fuel tank that you could mount underneath and remove the existing one from the cab?

Really clean job !

Having dark green leather on one of my car, i can only agree on that choice .

I am so happy that you finally have it almost finished after so much careful time, love, and attention. Also, I think the slightly contrasting bench seat looks great. It adds interest.

I like and prefer the tank in the cab, its something I like about these old trucks. You can get tanks that go in the back under the bed, but I have a metal floor and I dont want to cut a hole in it for a door, I can use a 69 Camaro tank and put the cap behind the plate, but those tanks hang low in a truck.

Thanks, its getting there. Currently waiting on some parts that are holding me up with putting the rest of the nose on truck. Once those parts show up I am then about a week or so out of it being done.

Thanks! Had to color match the interior of the truck as so much of the interior is painted.

Looking really nice. Is it just me or has this project progressed really fast?

When I first posted the project I was up to the truck just about ready to paint. Truck was painted in late May/Early June. I had stock piled most of the parts to put it back together and with the lack of car events has given my grandfather and I plenty of time to put this thing back together quickly. I am currently waiting on a few things now holding me up, but I am only a week or so from the truck being road worthy and then just doing little detail stuff.

Thanks! Its going to be a fun to cruise around in. Its much more mild than my 68 Camaro so it will be much better suited for road tripping.
