Rocky Mountain Hello
Hello everyone. I'm in Denver and just picked up a 1966 Chevy C10 long bed fleet side. It's got a 400ci and a 4-speed behind it. A few things I've noticed in the two days I've had it is that it has been lowered, long tube headers, and a 12 bolt rear end. I put a fresh battery in her last night and she fired right up after some finesse.
I took the seat out and the flooring to find some rusted out spots but shouldn't be too bad too fix. So is it normal to constantly search the Internet for truck parts now? I can't wait to get started!!!! http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/IMG_0127.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/IMG_0122.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...1/IMG_0120.jpg |

Re: Rocky Mountain Hello
I've ordered replacement parts like the mirrors, taillights, grill, bumpers, and a few body pieces to take care of the rust. Just want to stop the rust and give her a decent paint job and maybe down the road I'll do a full resto. It's got the four speed with granny low behind the 400 now. I may put some money into the drivetrain for some more power but right now I'm concentrating on the body.
