Finally found my Unicorn
Ive been looking for a clean 70-71 C10 for about 6 years. Ive driven 1,000's of miles to get nothing more than a cheeseburger. I found a real nice 78 that was LS swapped that kept me entertained for about 6 months but it just wasn't the one.
Finally looking on CL one day I ran across the one. Guy had just completed a frame off restoration on it and its as nice as the day it was new. I made a few tweaks to it right away and have mostly left it alone since. But that has changed in the last month. I don't know how to get photos to not rotate, sorry.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
I’m guessing your going to be going through some tires on that one. Sweet ride!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
I'm kinda partial to how it looked with the 6, because you NEVER see a nicely restored one, but I get the urge too!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
Your truck looks great, how far did you drop it 2/4 , 3/5? and what did you use to accomplish it.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
The small drop looks good!!!
Exactly the way I would do it! 427's make my day!!! I have a bunch of 8" rallies, plan to install hub caps on them, to start with on my 67... |

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
Sweet truck. What accessory drive system is that? I like that it uses a compact compressor and keeps it in front of the valve cover.
Flip fa ya....

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
OK
adding a big block to a 6 cylinder truck isn't just 'some changes' !!

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
Tears dropped when I saw an L6 being replaced!
Nice truck either way.

Re: Finally found my Unicorn
Any plans to beef up the rear end? If it were me I'd swap out that 12 Bolt for a Dana 60, or something of the like. That 12 Bolt may not last if you like the loud pedal.
