1967 C10
The story
The customer wanted to build the ultimate C10, and we were about halfway through the build in the metal department, and he gave us a call one day and says “Dave, I was thinking, and just tell me what you think, what about making it a convertible?" Then he said “Do you think I’m crazy?” Dave said “Crazy Cool! Let’s do it!” And we did! Will engineered the top and the tonneau covers and we had a lot of really big challenges trying to do all the electronics. But we achieved it!
