Re: 71 C10 LB: Code Name Sloth

Good news is the windshield area is painted. Bad news in the motor department. #3 cylinder obviously sat with water in the cylinder at some point. Would need a total rebuild. Wife said go for it so ordered up a GM crate 350. Was going to go that route probably in the spring, but decided better to do it now while the front end is apart. At least it’ll be easier to replace now. So hopefully in about 10 days, we will start that part of the episode. I guess in the mean time tomorrow's episode will be start the front and front to rear brake lines, sway bar and painting a couple areas of the floor pans.
