Here´s my ´81 GMC c10 longbed fleetside!

jethot coated headers,dual exhaust,th 350 tranny and 3.07 gears.
The suspension is lowered 4" in front and about 6" in back with belltech parts.
The 10x15" eagle alloys are wrapped with 265/50/15 and 295/50/15 Bfg´s.
Color is Radiant red from ford!I installed a ron francis wiring harness.The front and rear bumpers were shaved and painted and the grill is from a ´89 blazer.
It´s upgraded to tilt steering column and ´89 blazer instrumentpanel and bucketseats and mostly all hardware i used is stainless steel!
The interior isn´t done yet and there are still some bucks to spend but she runs and drives and is my joy and pain!

How about a fleetside from the first year they rolled off the assembly line. Mine is a 58 short fleetside mounted on a '64 chassis. It has a modified 283 with a th400 tranny. Shaved door handles, fuel filler and tailgate, dropped with disc brakes and aftermarket suspension goodies for go-kart cornering.

I've voted many times before, but this month has got to be the toughest one on which I ever had to pick ONE truck. I liked every one of them, and each one had a different reason why. Congrats to everyone nominated, and now I go back to the agonizing task of picking only one.....................

moneyeater · 09-15-2007, 03:48 AM

Man- you got to love those 67-72 trucks! A later one like my ´81 would never have a chance to compete!

I´ll try to get one for my next projekt and start all over again!
