New guy here, I've been lurking for a while, finally got around to making a thread. I'll start with some background, I got this truck from a very good friend of mine for $700. I've wanted it for years but didn't have the chance to buy it till about 3 months ago. It had been through alot, an accident involving a pole and front end damage and years of neglect but everytime I saw it, I saw potential. The day I towed it home it had no radiator, didn't run, had a torn up bed and as I later found out, original drum brakes (the metal from the pads wore two deep groves on the drum). This thing was a death trap but it was all I could afford after I blew the engine in my old mazda. It's got the 230 C.I. original engine and a Th350 with the original 3.73s. Since I've got it I replaced the entire brake system, rebuilt the carb, got a new radiator and wiring harness. I also snatched up a 65 327 from another C10 that I plan on swapping in, when funds allow. I'll update as often as I can, since fixing this thing has turned out to be a part time job. At the moment I'm in the process of installing an LMC truck oak bed kit and doing paint/prep. I'll be uploading some more pics tommorow.
