71 stepside build
Hi all, new to the forum and building old c10s so I may have some questions or crazy ideas so bear with me. First off this is a truck I'm building for a buddy, we are in process of getting frame blasted and collecting parts. Sheet metal was repaired and painted by previous owner so as for now not many plans for re painting but who knows!
Specs are 71 stepside, plans for a 5.3 or 6.0 swap, 3:73 limited slip, cpp suspension, billet wheels, and everything is being replaced. So there is a LOT of factory parts available to be bought including all factory steering and suspension. I will post a few pics tonight from CPU when I get home Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 71 stepside build
Picked up stainless brake lines, stainless hoses, line bracket kit and a couple other small pieces today. Hopefully when I get back in town from work next week I can pick up frame and let the fun begin of getting a rolling chassis
