My 76 fleetside rebuild
Here is my 1976 Chevrolet C-10 Custom Deluxe. I bought her five months ago for 500 dollars. She is 2wd with a 4 barrel 350, 400 Turbo trans, 307 rear end. I was in rough shape when i got it it needed new fenders, rockers, and some hood and minor patch stuff....
Here is her before......     mid way..... From Fenders  To Roll Pan....    Cragars

Re: My 76 fleetside rebuild
wow that is some good progress. I kind of like the original color and trim theme but there is nothing wrong with a black truck. Did you do any upgrades to the motor? That is a stout drive line you got there with the th400 is it a 12bolt rear?

Re: My 76 fleetside rebuild
Looks great. The wheels are a huge improvement. I guess I have never seen those in blue.

Yeah the guy i bought it from used to be a welder. He hauled one of those huge welder/ generators with a huge v twin Kohler engine then a 20' twin axle trailer behind that with all of his tools and materials..... also when he was off the sued to tow a 26 or 28' camper to florida! the truck is a tank it has heavy duty springs in the rear which i wanna down grade..... an i just remove some of the leafs or will i have to get different ones???? Nope there are no modifications to the engine it is bone stock. i was gonna put my fingers in to the engine but ill leave it alone. as of right now i can go out pump the gas once and it dont even turn over a full turn and its running! the trans is also awesome in every gear there is nearly no hesitation. the previous owner had it serviced at gm only garages and when i mean serviced i mean full serviced. every oil change, greased once a month, trans fluid and filter changed every year, and a coolant flush and change every fall, plugs, wires cap and rotor once a year, fuel filter change twice a year and even the rear end fluid was changed every year! this drive line was taken very good care of! i also have all of the paper work too! im not too sure if it is 12 bolt or not havn't got in to that yet all i know is that its a 3.07 rear gear..... thanks everyone its been alot of work geting it this far with just me and my father!

Nice job on the transformation. I'd never seen marker lights in the hood before.

thanks I sure am.... the paint is very bad and needs to be reshot and she needs lower to the ground..... I love how the roll pan worked out because the rounds on top of the fenders are the same round as the base of the box. I think im the first to do it at least I have never seen any one else do it before....
