Re: Restoring 1980 C10 big ten.
Here is where it sits so far, I purchase a 79 donor for the sheet metal as it was in much better shape.
Also came with a complete fairly new exhaust which I needed and the amount I paid for the truck is what the exhaust would have cost me anyway. Decent b&m shifter in there too. sells for 300 on summit so let's see if I can't recoup some of my cost.
Box and rear bumber off, wire wheeled the frame and did the rear section with kbs rust seal. Took a long darn time. Didn't like the gloss so I covered with flat black and I like how it looks now.
Next up BRAKES.... need new drums or a disc conversion... thoughts???
I need it to be inexpensive or wifey will kill me.. Keep in mind this is Canada and right now the dollar sucks in relation to the US and auto parts here are crazy expensive.
