Re: Project Checkbook 2: 1971 SWB BB Cheyenne
After waiting for a few months the C-10 is now on the operating table in the mechanical shop. I have asked them to do whatever work is necessary to make the truck safe and driveable. Since nearly everything mechanical is worn out that makes for quite a long and expensive list.
The entire brake system is being rebuilt, along with the exhaust system and front suspension. The original big block is in good shape and will be largely left alone save for a tuneup. A lot of peripherals like AC and the tach are also non-functional but won't be fixed at this time.
The truck came with a ugly set of rotted tires on ugly Rallies so both of those things are departing. I bought four nice 15 X 8 steelies from a Board member and had them sandblasted and painted GM white. New shoes for Thanksgiving!
