Going to paint this truck Tasco Turquoise and White. Here is a test sample of the colors. I already have a Red and White truck...figured I would paint a truck this color, found it off the 1960 Corvette colors.

Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne SWB Build

I have several transmissions, which one do you need ? I build the 700r4's without the electrical requirements. No need for external wiring for the TCC lock up. It works great in town driving where the TCC is not engaging/disengaging all the time when folks use the external vac. switch but you need the correct valve body....

Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne SWB Build

I just recently learned the electronic lockup wasnt a requirement.

On my 69 I bought the TV kit from bowtie overdrive, followed the instructions (I think) but was burned up by my teenagers, replaced with a craigslist $200 find and same result. My son's in the Marine corps so it's in storage now.

So if you could build a 700R4 without the electronic gobbledygook and send it this way that would be great man! Time to say goodbye to my 3OTT in the 72.
