She’s been acquiring more chickens each day - this woman is on a MISSION #colletedaviselectricc10farmsracing

U are a lucky man. U messed up letting a girl that pretty drive that truck down here in the south hahaha

Not gonna lie I definitely clicked off the thin mint video to watch this video, been waiting for this since she posted her current collection. 😂

Perfect for hauling the Corvette to local events! Love it.

[@philiott71]

The stance, the wheels, the color, everything about it is perfect.

[@trav33333]

Don’t forget the 454 BIG block

[@teaddict-]

Killed it with the editing and videography on this one! Looks like a fun build, all the analogue gauges and old satisfying switches and toggles and stuff are such a vibe too

[@JaredR1996]

I’m so ready for this build. As a C10 owner myself, I’m gonna love every second of this. Congrats Collete

[@adamthomas4638]

I'm a c10 owner as well don't you think she should do a short bed conversion I don't like the looks of long beds

[@JaredR1996]

@@adamthomas4638 personally no. I don’t mind long beds. Sure short beds are now sought after but I don’t mind what truck she has really. If she does a short bed conversion, I’m not upset with the decision. But also it’s her truck. She can do whatever she wants to it

[@robertemmons2260]

​@adamthomas4638 to each their own. I've debated on converting my '68 C10 to a shortbed, but I've decided to leave it a longbed. If I want a shortbed I'll buy one. Oh, wait. I already bought a shortbed. 😅

[@Hpp-tj9gc]

I love this, ive daily driven my 68 chevy c10 longbed for 6 years now with no complaints, ive never clicked on a video so fast i look forward to the build keep it up, also door seals from a 2006 honda civic coupe will fit perfectly for a c10

[@CrankshaftTX]

The genuine excitement over an old American truck is the vibe I needed right now!

[@MX304]

Throw on a Holley Sniper throttle body EFI system. Then do the full QA-1 front suspension. It will completely transform the way it drives without taking away any usability.

[@lucascarbonneau6743]

That intro edit was amazing more KZbinrs need to put that much effort into videos

[@in4theaction]

The little things that you can fix or replace that make a huge difference on these trucks are endless. Door weather stripping, and Borgeson quick ratio steering box were huge changes for my 78. Talk to Jesse at Level 7 Motorsports if you want to make one into an absolute monster. He also has a whole brake, clutch, and manual braking solutions that could do a tone without switching to hydrologic.

[@cliff4695]

I inherited my dad's 67 C10. LS swapped it, currently doing the suspension. QA1 is the best when it comes to these.

[@ColleteDavis]

Hell yea! That’s awesome

[@curtismagas9343]

Collete don't worry Adam has the bug too, do you remember when he bought the compound and found out it had a tractor...he was so stoked like a little boy at Christmas. Every time he gets on it he is grinning from ear to ear. Now you need some miniature fainting goats🤔❤

[@jaygehret]

I drive past the compound on my way to work. I can't wait to see that around town. Talk to Scott at horse power ranch, he might have some tricks for getting the door and tailgate unlocked.

[@Crispy1320]

I love that your doing a C10 build. In a weird but absolutely amazing way. A C10 kind of suits you well. This is gonna be a sweet truck after you put your Collete vibe on it. I can't wait to see what you have planned for it.

[@Kodiak660]

LMC truck is your friend. Make sure you order the catalog, lots of great information in it.

[@leroyperoutyjr.8738]

Absolutely looking forward to where this goes. Awesome to see something completely different. Congrats, I hope to see this thing driving around Brevard.

[@jackb1000]

I absolutely love Collete 2.0!!!!!!!! I bought a 71 Chevy P\U Work Truck when I lived in Myrtle Beach years ago but it had a small block in it and had no power so I sold it to a friend. I later got a 78 Ford 4X4 P/U with a 428 cobra jet and 4 sp from a guy over in the forest city area of Orl when I lived in WP. Get the HAT, you will look so fine in it driving the P/U. I hope the rotary stuff has gone to old muscle car/truck mania. It's so much more fun. Luv ya!

[@RustyWells2]

I love this path Colette is on with the old cars!

[@randybucher3188]

Had a 71 C10 big block. Got where we never drove it so I sold it. My wife was so mad and I still hear about it!

[@____MC____]

Get the screen gaurd for the cowl vent then clean out the gunk and leaves from the inside kick pannel vents. Then clean out the inner doors. Then poke a wire in the rocker pannels to clean out the drain holes.

[@ryanjuers7881]

Love the truck. Here’s my build idea. Build the big block as they are crazy fun when built or 4 rotor swap. T56 for hyway use. Willwoodbrakes and ridetech suspension for handling and stopping. Unistere make a rack and pinion conversion for c10. Get a vintage air and tmi in interior to update the inside. New wiring as they make kits already. Dakota digital makes a modern factory looking gauge cluster. New wheels and a dark blue paint job w Crome to complement the look. No matter what is done I can’t wait to see the build.

[@y2000air]

Finally some nice old school American stuff

[@4EVRLOW]

Definitely keep the wheels!! I have the same ones on my 89 Isuzu SpaceCab.

[@madmikescustomgarage1778]

One fantastic thing about chevy and GM in general, a TON of parts interchange from newer models to make cheap/affordable upgrades using factory parts

[@alankowalski8781]

I love that you get different stuff and not just JDM stuff like Adam. I also really enjoy your builds. I can appreciate JDM, but I am an American muscle car guy at heart. I hope you do some really cool stuff to it, like a nice big disc break conversion, and they are so many companies out there that make handling kits for that thing, so that it’s not just “lowered”, but lowered so it actually handles, with proper a arms, proper shocks, springs, and sway bars. You can still keep the rest old school, and have the same look, but the thing will just drive better, be safer, and more reliable. But either way, BRING THE BUILD!!! I’m ready.

[@Jon64scale]

Collete i hope tiny tim or tina pulls through 🤠

[@allanespiritu3]

Trucks and chickens, I’m here for it lol been waiting on this video with all the teaser shorts and IG posts. Can’t wait to see you dig into this and put your flair on it.

Not a truck person myself , but the Chevy C10 is iconic. Its a keeper.

[@Saturdays_We_Volunteer]

I have a 71 medium blue that’s about to get a carbd 6th gen 454 and 6l80e transplant. This gives me the drive to get mine restored!

[@matthewstrasser8257]

Very cool! Love you aren't afraid to try different things. With Adam being an introvert and you an extrovert. Getting him out of his comfort zone is entertaining lol

[@afote12]

the C10 is going to be a great build! that paint is super clean for a truck that age! In my opinion thatll be the perfect daily just throw a few comfort mods and call it a day!

[@wishtheyunderstoodme]

she has actual cars and she doesn't daily them 😂

[@bobbybeattie4738]

Wow this is amazing. Atleast for me. Old chevys got me interested in automotive stuff uncle has 1940 pickup and 53 suberban but c10 is the perfect platform for you. Youll love it. I had a 88 k5 blazer 450 hp. Didnt want more. Being only 20 the gas was getting too expensive.

[@benhoffman6606]

I love the C10 the same way I love my NNBS. So simple, so versatile and they come with big power

[@kasper_429]

Ever since I saw Stacy/Stacey David's "Copperhead" C10 build on the "TRUCKS!" TV show on Powerblock TV back in the day, I've wanted one of these. They look so sick when done right! Excited to see how this beast turns out.

[@lukeofearth1036]

Just can't wait to see the 90's wheels go. I'm sure you'll kill it on this build. The 67 through 72 are my favorite body style. My brother has a slammed 68 that is awesome. Have fun.

[@Berm_Blaster]

When I was a kid my brother had multiple short bed fleet side 70-72 C10s. Those were such great times cruising with him and working on them with him. My uncle also had 69 short bed fleet side that he completely restored. Such bad ass trucks. It sucks that people charge so much for them now. My brother used to buy them running and driving perfectly for $1000 bucks.

[@michaelsendling4311]

Not a chicken person , however seen the Silkies and was wondering if you had seen an adult Sultan chicken by far the most majestic looking chicken breed

[@daniellawrence-yi7tq]

My mom had a 71 C10 when I was a kid. I even modeled my pine wood derby car after it for Boy Scouts

[@kramer8865]

The c10 fits you so nicely, such a versatile truck with lots of potential. And the patina has aged like fine wine.

[@cooliecrewspeedshop]

I have many cars in my driveway from E30s, 240s, 300zx, vettes, IS300s but out of all of them, my fav vehicle to drive and work on is my Lowered C1500. So simple and easy to work on, find parts and its comfortable! It also rips bigger burnouts than most of my cars lmao.

[@adammasci9737]

those old school billets are the bomb.... glad you wanna keep 'em.

You just crossed over into a whole larger level of gorgeous

[@LeeSmith-zt5ug]

Brings back memories of my Dad's 1972 C10

[@levi.climbs]

chickens are great, throw your left over fruit/veggie scraps and old bread etc in their pen you'll be rewarded with delicious eggs. Also make sure to get crushed oyster shells for healthy, strong egg shells and very small rocks (grit) for them to eat and keep in their gizzard for digestion! plenty of space and water and they'll be very happy

[@dialedindetail5899]

Awesome! Just awesome. Love the truck and the chickens.

[@ewallacestudent1]

i had one of those back in the day, it was a column shift three speed and had a 350 faded green with a camper shell. I still miss that old girl she threw a rod threw the block and couldn't justify cost of a new motor. I saw on power-nation a kit to update suspension and brakes to make it handle better on roads. a hard cover on back would help mileage. Nick name truck "the chicken coupe" and it will be/is awesome seeing it on your Chanel. I can't wait to see more with it.

[@Weasel3DE]

Great choice owned '69 swb over 38 yrs and a excellent parts or tow truck. Congrats!!!

[@dakotakelley4130]

This makes me happy I have a 64 c10 I have been wanting to build

[@charlestorruella8591]

Built the big coup two feet off the ground and put fine fence under it pretty much all around it FL you have to worry about snake's eating the eggs and some fencing will keep out big animal you need to think about the ones that can get threw tiny holes to the eggs so you get plenty of fresh eggs and baby chicks

[@charlestorruella8591]

The off the ground thing will let you clean it faster and you can wash the chicken poop into the dirt under it and once a year dig up the dirt and use it for flower gardens

[@xXCWALDROUPXx]

I have a 70' c10 with a 454 and I fucking LOVE it. Get ready to feel the most American you ever have when you drive it, feels like a time machine. Easiest thing ever to work on honestly, you can open the hood, climb on top of the inner fender and use frame for a foot rest and get to work if you need to lol. Highly suggest power steering (I still haven't) and def get discs on the front (also guilty)

[@ridetechtv]

Ha! Adam LZ's face when she said she's getting chickens was exactly what my face looked like when my wife said she was getting some. Good stuff!

[@thirdgearboogie2210]

The cinematic intro was on point!

[@laurakordics3755]

The seat and steering wheel look so massive with tiny little Collette in the cab! As a 6'6" farm boy that grew up in a 69' c10, the scale is hilarious

[@markparmenter7309]

If only there were C10 in Australia, absolutely love them

[@mattg7952]

Had a 71 and 72. 72 I put a 5/7 drop kit on from Early Classic and a 454/400. Looked a lot like this truck but medium green/white

[@skuxxskits]

I loved this style and editing so so much! Great car too

[@Berm_Blaster]

Im more of a truck guy so thjs is somehing i am EXTREMELY interested in! Only way it could be better if it was a short bed fleet side! I will be searching for update videos on this build constantly. You rock Collete!

[@adamcecil4121]

Great to see you taking on a truck build and nothing better than a 67-72 C10!

[@MarkofT]

C10s have the same suspension setup that NASCAR racers have used from 1960 to the most recent generation. This is why they would remark about "truck arms" when speaking of the lower rear suspension components. Legend has it that the racers wanted the longer arms but the designs of the cars had already been finalized so they put them under the trucks which would let them qualify as a "stock suspension component".

[@twodogsyyc6729]

Ive been excited for this build since the first Insta pic!!! Always luvd the lines and everything thing else about them.

[@Patssmith09]

I’ve got an 87 numbers matching stepside. Congratulations

Those seats are from a trans am around 78 - 81 I had the same ones stock in my 1980 4.9 turbo trans am

[@detailbydesign8719]

Love the truck Colette congrats on the purchase just watching your video. It looks like it’s got a steering column out of an automatic, newer truck with a tilt column

[@EddieWro10]

I've had silkies for years. Awesome chickens

[@rizzla9651]

[@CrankshaftTX]

No way. The big block has to stay, and in carbureted form.

[@MattyHogue_73]

HELL YA!!! I'm so pumped on this build. Please go all out

[@sillysongs5]

One thing i would suggest is to look up retrosound radio headunits i got one for my 77. They are a stock appearing radios and have a fairly customizable look, as well as having Bluetooth. Also while i like my stock headlights personally, most people want a brighter set. Holley makes a nice bolt-in set that are much brighter.

[@bigaspn]

I love the color of the truck! And i cant wait for the chicks to grow up and get fluffy

[@jcsanti222]

Imagine that truck pulling a open trailer with the lancer to the drag strip that'll be dope

[@1rcracer]

Hopefully you keep it clean and simple. C10s are amazing trucks all around!

[@jumpropemaniac]

Absolutely amazing!! I have a 69 c10 that my dad and I got before he passed away that I’m building. I love that you’re doing this! Will be watching every episode.

[@B_M_A]

Love C10's, growing up my dad was always building a handful of them. Kinda surprised you went with a long bed!

[@scottdo509]

I have a 76 c10 step side with a 350 and turbo 350 trans. Raiders grey with black racing strips. Wanna see this build. Good luck. Mine is work in project. Love the direction!

[@cmnspwr]

Looking forward to this build. Growing up, my father had a ‘71 Longhorn. I learned to drive on that truck. Unfortunately he sold it probably 20 years ago and I haven’t been able to locate it. On the hunt for a good donor for my son and I to build.

Now you are coming around to some good car's and trucks

[@craigerss3926]

Wow! I love this truck soooo much!

[@TheMrDavidCurran]

I have loved C10s since Roadkill was airing on KZbin. As an Aussie, we do not get these trucks (utes, sorrynotsorry) so this is a way to vicariously live through my fave KZbinrs to build cool stuff.

[@fredmcconnelliii]

I grew up in the summers on the farm with my grandfather driving a c10 just like that. It’s how I learned to drive. Edit: it’s a refreshing departure for you! 😊

[@cblank928]

So ready for this build. Saw the pictures on Instagram and have been waiting for the video to drop. Something about driving around in an old Chevy just hits different. My 2000 Silverado 2500 still runs like a champ with 260k miles on it.

[@mpierce3]

now we are talking if you look at the 66 Chevelle's the Hurst shifter in those with the white ball are a lot longer which might work better for your shifting issues
