Finally found my Unicorn
 

Ive been looking for a clean 70-71 C10 for about 6 years. Ive driven 1,000's of miles to get nothing more than a cheeseburger. I found a real nice 78 that was LS swapped that kept me entertained for about 6 months but it just wasn't the one.
Finally looking on CL one day I ran across the one. Guy had just completed a frame off restoration on it and its as nice as the day it was new. I made a few tweaks to it right away and have mostly left it alone since. But that has changed in the last month.
I don't know how to get photos to not rotate, sorry.

Ive started to make some changes.

That is a very nice truck. 3 OTT?

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

I’m guessing your going to be going through some tires on that one. Sweet ride!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

yes sir it was, went to a 4l80e

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

I did lower it and put a 8" wheel on it with 255's

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

I'm kinda partial to how it looked with the 6, because you NEVER see a nicely restored one, but I get the urge too!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Now that's what I'd call a "Sleeper", stock on the outside, but heart beating beast under the hood. Very nice ride! Congrats!!!:metal:

Holy smokin rubber! You did good. 👍

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Your truck looks great, how far did you drop it 2/4 , 3/5? and what did you use to accomplish it.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Looks great!!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

The small drop looks good!!!

Exactly the way I would do it!
427's make my day!!!
I have a bunch of 8" rallies, plan to install hub caps on them, to start with on my 67...

Sweet truck. What accessory drive system is that? I like that it uses a compact compressor and keeps it in front of the valve cover.

Flip fa ya....

Gorgeous truck! I love the big block!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

OK
adding a big block to a 6 cylinder truck isn't just 'some changes' !! :)

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

2'' all the way around

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

thank you, its the Vintage Air Front Runner

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Gorgeous truck and I love the "Changes" you made..

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

She's a beauty. Well worth the wait. Enjoy.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Wow, that was a great frame off, great score!!!

I like the changes as well... I'd bet it scoots a little better now :lol:

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Really nice, love that truck, enjoy!!!!!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Fantastic! Congrats and well done.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Welcome !
Beautiful truck to say the least .
That is one healthy Unicorn!!
Very cool.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Tears dropped when I saw an L6 being replaced!

Nice truck either way.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
 

Any plans to beef up the rear end? If it were me I'd swap out that 12 Bolt for a Dana 60, or something of the like. That 12 Bolt may not last if you like the loud pedal.
