Looks like you have a good start on it - and it also looks like you will have plenty of work to do...(make sure you are current on your tetanus shots) -
Yes on the new cab - you will be $ and time ahead if you did. |

These are both well worth the asking price...and he is an honest seller as well - - you will be soooo much farther ahead to getting it done...

Re: Project: 1971 Chevy K10 (56K Warning.....65 large pics!!!)
Next up is stripping all axles, suspension, wiring/lines basically everything down to the bare frame to get it blasted and cleaned up. Does everyone agree thats a good starting place?

Re: Project: 1971 Chevy K10 (56K Warning.....65 large pics!!!)
wow, that is a lot of work ahead of you.. if you want to see how much then look at my build... think 3 years and $8K!!
I would look for a good cab for under $1K or if you are brave enough you can do a full full replacement like mine... That's if the firewall and roof are rust free... It's still a $500 project with the new floor... I'm gonna have this moved into the 4x4 build section... good luck on the build... they snowball

Man, yours makes my 71 look like a show truck. All I have to do is replace the rockers, and kick panels. Keep up the good energy.
