Every clean 1960–1987 Chevy C10 build you see online has a story behind it — and usually a pile of parts, mistakes, busted knuckles, and expensive lessons that never make it into the final photo.

Don Dotta Solutions exists because Al Taylor, the owner, has lived those lessons firsthand. With over 31 years working on C10s and countless LS swaps completed, adjusted, torn back apart, and rebuilt, this brand wasn’t created in a boardroom — it was built in garages, driveways, and shops where real trucks get worked on.

“Experience isn’t just time — it’s the cost of the mistakes you already paid for.”

Decades of Hands-On C10 & LS Swap Experience

Over the years, Al has worked through nearly every scenario a C10 builder can run into — from simple refresh builds to full LS swaps with custom wiring, fuel systems, cooling challenges, and drivetrain combinations that look great on paper but fight you in real life.

That experience includes spending six to seven figures on the right tools, test parts, setups that worked, and plenty that didn’t. Every wrong bracket, incompatible fitting, poorly designed mount, or “almost right” part added another data point.

Why Don Dotta Solutions Selects the Parts It Does

The parts offered today aren’t random catalog listings. They’re the result of knowing what actually fits, what holds up, and what causes problems down the road.

Some parts were chosen because they solved issues Al personally fought through years ago. Others fill gaps where builders were forced to piece together solutions that never felt right. If a part is listed, it’s because it passed a simple test:

• Does it make the build easier or more reliable?
• Does it eliminate common mistakes or rework?
• Does it respect how C10s are actually built and driven?

If it doesn’t check those boxes, it doesn’t make the cut.

More Than Parts — Protecting C10 Culture

Don Dotta Solutions isn’t just about selling components. It’s about keeping C10 culture alive — the kind built on learning, sharing knowledge, and helping the next builder avoid frustration that kills projects halfway through.

Too many good trucks end up stalled because the wrong part created a domino effect of problems. The goal here is simple: help you keep your build moving forward with confidence.

Built by a Builder, for Builders

When you’re building a C10, you’re not just assembling parts — you’re continuing a legacy. Every bracket, sensor, line, and bolt choice matters. Having access to parts chosen by someone who’s already been down that road makes the difference between guessing and building with intent.
