Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Hey guys. I've been lurking here for a while, but recently bought an 83' C10 Scottsdale and have just begun the restoration and modding process. It has a worn out 305 in it that will be replaced with a 383 I bought from a friend. The transmission is a 700R4 that was supposedly rebuilt a year ago, but will be checked out and have some shift improvements done and a stall convertor before the new engine goes in. I also want to find a posi traction rear end with either a 3.73 or 4.10 gear. I'd prefer a bolt in swap but will buy a posi and gear if I'm unable to locate one. I am also replacing some interior parts as I find them. I bought a very nice dash that doesn't fit my truck and will sell it and try to find the right one. I need one with the wiper function above the light switch. Any help would be appreciated. I like an old school look, so I'll lower it a couple of inches and hopefully find a pair of 7" and 8" Rally Wheels to go on it.
