FOREVER C10 STORY
FOREVR C10
MADE IN FLORIDA
When I first thought of the idea of starting an apparel business, it all came to me around the time I got My first C10. The desire for the second generation truck (67-72) came, as like many enthusiasts, either You grew up with one in the family or someone in the neighborhood, or just someone You knew had one. The Guy that inspired Me was a cat named “Skinner.” He had a couple, at different times. One was a LWB lowrider, sounded amazing. Then He found a stepside, turned it into a lowrider with a big motor also sounded amazing. So from then on I knew I had to have one of that generation.
Now My journey for one of these pickups begin. It was around ’97, I was working at the landfill (dump) in Lakeland FL. An Old Gentleman pulled up to dump some stuff, I couldn’t resist because it was the truck I was wanting. Reflecting back to “Skinner” in His, so I decided to throw it out there to see what He would say. I first said,” nice truck”, immediately after I asked “do You wanna sell it”? without hesitation He said “YEAH!” I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT! I got His info went and looked more at it. It was a 1971 Cheyenne 10 LWB with moon hub caps! FREAKING NICE! THEN in 1971, this truck was the loaded package. Paid $900 cash! Happiest time of My 21 y.o. life! Man, I slowly worked on it, got it painted, wheels, lowered by heating the springs! it had a 305 ci motor in it, changed that to a 350/350 trans with a shift kit, will bark tires when shifting to second gear. I LOVED THAT TRUCK! As years passed and drove it everywhere, I had the motor and trans rebuilt in 2005. In that same year, some SCOUNDREL STOLE IT! I never heard a peep from it again! My 1st c10 STOLEN Oct. 18 2005 a week after My birthday. I WAS HEARTBROKEN! 2 YEARS later 2007 I found My ’72 that I drive now. Never got to make it pretty like the ’71 but its more modern!
