1971 c-10 nc

[71c10nc]

Hello everyone,

Just introducing myself. I grew up building model As but decided I wanted an early 70s C-10. I came across a 71 at the right price and decided to jump on it.

So now I have a 1971 c-10 with a 350 and nv3550. It needs a good bit of work as some of the previous patch jobs were probably done in a finely lit garage through guestimations. So I have my work cut out for me.

I'm slowly collecting the parts to get the work done that I want to do this winter to include:
Pulling engine/ trans for a rebuild
Coils for a 2" drop
Move gas tank to under the bed
Wood bed
Replace tailgate
Bucket seats to replace the busted bench
And some other odd jobs.

Looking forward for something new in a build. My last build was a 1029 Ford Tudor 2 times over. Once back to stock and then a few years later into a hot rod. I am hoping to get this truck to be a daily driver that I can pass on to my son.

Looking forwards to learning from those of you who have gone before with these modifications and seeing some of your builds/restorations.
