71/72 C/10 build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cwgreen1971 · 09-03-2008, 04:29 AM

What's up all, I'm new and wanted to get some pics of my project on here. I traded my HD for the 72 to later find out it used to be a long bed and when they shortened it they pretty much ruined the frame. So I found the 71 for $1200 right up the street from my house by chance

How the hell do you upload them them? I tried for an hour the other night to figure it out with no luck.

below the message block for typing in your message, click Go Advanced - then down to Manage Attachements - if the pics don't fit, they will have to be resized. Save them resized and then put them in.

to the board from Mid-MO!!!

Can't wait to see your project, and remember, we love pics!

cwgreen1971 · 09-03-2008, 02:50 PM

I'll put some up when I get home from work, I didn't know you had to be Bill Gates to figure it out!!!!!!!

cwgreen1971 · 09-09-2008, 09:27 PM

OK here we go finally. The frame is from my 71 because the PO hacked up the 72. I'm going to use the cab and front end off the 72 and the frame and bed off the 71. The burn out pic is the 72 the second one we tore down after the chassis was complete. The before pics are on my profile.

cwgreen1971 · 09-09-2008, 09:50 PM

Here are some more of the frame after I blasted it and the trailing arms and control arms.

cwgreen1971 · 09-09-2008, 10:01 PM

After some chassis black from Eastwood

cwgreen1971 · 09-09-2008, 10:18 PM

Rebuilt the whole front end and 4/2 drop springs and shocks. Also stainless steel brake lines.

cwgreen1971 · 09-09-2008, 10:42 PM

Chassis back on the ground and before and after of the tranny and engine. I ran the #'s on the 350 and it said it came out of a 1974 police cruiser but didn't say anything else. I put a cam/lifter set in it. It's still not done but I have roller tip rockers, performer air gap intake, 11in TCI Break Away torque converter, hedman headers, and all the other goodies to complete it.

cwgreen1971 · 09-09-2008, 10:55 PM

Here is where I am at now. My brother is doing the body work but put it on hold because I had to go buy a bigger compressor, the one I had just wouldn't keep up. I think the sand blaster worked it too hard. I have the cab corners, inner/outer rockers, lower door skins(inner and outer) and fender repair panels. Now I need some floor pans... Any suggestions where I should get them? The rest of the parts came from LMC but I want to go through someone else for the floor.

cwgreen1971 · 09-09-2008, 11:04 PM

Some left over pics, having fun and my new scrap yard. More to come it's a long cold winter in Michigan. Plenty of time to get things done just have to work some OT to pay for it. Hope you enjoy the build!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

northern 85 · 09-10-2008, 05:24 AM

You have been busy! Lookin good nice work, it pays not to rush

thirdstreettito · 09-10-2008, 08:15 AM
