First little history,
I have owned this truck in some form or another since 2001 and it was my first daily driver. When I purchased it from the original owner it was a C20 with a 350/TH400. I drove in for a year in its original configuration until I had a fender bender that bent the original frame. it sat at my parents for a few years until I found a replacement frame and then I started a frame up re-build. Currently it has a 1982 C10 frame, 1981 TH350, and the original 350 rebuilt and bored .030 over. Cab and bed are also original and need some light body work. Front clip consists of 2 NOS GM fenders ad clean radiator support, and I have the original hood that I'm planning on using. Suspension is stock other then some 454 springs and some poly bushings.


Then, some pictures I found of early stages of the build.

First pic is after I mounted the cab on the frame, I was in college 3 hours from home so progress was almost none existent for several years. I was having the original engine rebuilt at the time, but otherwise the truck was just sitting in the barn.

Second is when I moved it into my Dad's garage and borrowed an engine hoist and started by removing the 1982 305 that came with the frame.
