My '71 C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys

Where do I start..

I've had this thing since Dec 2013. I Found it up in North GA with only 59k original miles and it had literally never left the northern part of the state. Built in Chamblee, GA (which is basically Atlanta) and only had one owner.

(The night we went up and got it)

When I bought it it had the 'three on the tree' which as nostalgic as it may be, I had no interest in.

Original plan was just to get her running right and figure it out from there.

I only wanted a quick refresh of the motor but the ball started rolling and in a couple days everything was disassembled

(The Craftsman C10 was a truck I saw at a recent show which motivated me)

Next up is the ECE 4/6 drop. Decided on 22s all the way around, 22x8.5 up front and 22x11 out back, all brushed with maybe a hint of hugger somewhere.

Still undecided on brakes as a I have a relationship with a couple companies.

Interior, not sure yet...

Thanks.

I definitely should have went LSx after all the money I put into this original 350. I'll see how that goes.
