Re: 1965 C10 Fleet Project - unfinished business

A good look round the truck and overall it has done very well being over 55 years old - the warm climate has certainly helped.

A few addd ons over the years like many other trucks - modern stereo hole elegantly added with tin snips, the AC holes in the core support with a gas spanner - the usuals but nothing to worry about overall.

The kick plates and inner cills have a few holes from sitting water and the usual dents to sort out (or not).

I decided to pull the motor and build a simple 6.0 LS with 4L80e - with a carb and minimal electronics - I wanted a quiet, strong motor that could tow stuff and also be a bit of fun when the need arises :-)

I sold the motor and glide as a package locally and once gone I could start tearing the LS donor motor down...
