Re: 1980 C-10 Low buck build.
Hopefully soon I can put that hydro boost to use in my rig and get some great braking again and not worry about any cam I throw in there and that sm465 should be some fun in my stepper. Truck looked good today

Re: 1980 C-10 Low buck build.
The interior is pretty decent for a ride of that age. Did you have to do a lot to get it there? Motor transplant, light back end; traction? Probably not as much as would be desired. Would I have swapped the motor? Hell yeah!
Now onto a serious safety issue. When are you going to change the glass in that thing so that you can see clearly? I know you're in Washington state and all, but don't they require you to have at least a windshield that you can see through? ![]() |

I'm sorry my attempts at humor don't always come across so well. I am in Texas and we don't see much of that stuff that is on your windows! That was the blunt of the whole comment my friend!
I personally have relatives in the Seattle/Bremerton area so I am know about the rain issue that you have, as well as rust! Love your truck! Keep after it and all will be well! |

Re: 1980 C-10 Low buck build.
Just a few hours worth. Cory fabbed up a switch panel that I will mount to block off the radio and use it for my fan and interior light.

Re: 1980 C-10 Low buck build.
Very nice. Why front shocks on the rear? Fronts usually have way stiffer valving which isn't necessarily good for a low rear weight truck
