Re: 71 c10 restoration
Installed a Texas Speed stage 2 cam. Came with new valve springs, pushrods, front cover, and gaskets. I think installed corvette front drive assembly, and changed to a LS3 style intake |

Re: 71 c10 restoration
Got the cowl welded in this past weekend. Mostly filled in the old spot welds that held in the original cowl. Looking for a place to get OEM doors around the Houston area, any suggestions? |

Re: 71 c10 restoration
Picked up a stock GM sway bar with new rubbers. Heard it is a huge upgrade to increase handling.

Re: 71 c10 restoration
Do you know the paint code for the original color on that truck? I have a tailgate that I bought that is that color.

Re: 71 c10 restoration
I used the Borla Pro XS mufflers. Here is a clip (not my truck). You can tell they're a little more mellow, less hollow sounding, if that makes sense. To me they sound like a mix of american muscle and european power.
