Re: The building of "Monroe" 72 4x4 swb

Well, there have been several developments since I last posted. Here is what Ive decided to do. I am continuing to labor on the 72 cab when time allows. But this project has taken a turn. I opened my mouth and bought a pretty good old 71 longbed c10 from Leonard1 here on the board. The 1st owner I knew from when I was a boy.The bed was good, as it had a topper on it for much of its life on the road. anyway, owner died, it ended up at his house and I just couldn't stand to see it sit. It is a 250 I6/ 3 ott but not for long. You all know by now that if it stays here long, 20 inches disappears from the back of them. This one is no different. Here is the new plan. Scrapping the 4x4 idea. I am building one chassis, 3/5 static drop. Steelies and poverty caps, 350 auto, 3:08 rear and keeping the 100% org paint. Or at least what's left. When i get it on the road, I will finish the black cab and swap it on my foundation. Iwill build a super slick bed for it, then. Here is where I am at so far.
