Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

Truck is coming along nicely. Glad to see another member not far away.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

did you reverse the turn signal so it points away from you for a reason?

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

from what I'v seen I sure wish we had the same Santa, you have great taste in parts

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

i guess the P.O. did it. i never really paid any attention to it.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

Was told this was a 71, with a 283.
Found out last night that the engine on the frame was a 307, not a 283. I think the frame is a 70.

found a buyer for it too, should be coming get it this evening.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

ordered a bunch of more parts. got sent the wrong things, still waiting on more and waiting this hurricane out.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

Good luck with the hurricane, I pray that it blows right on by without incident.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

Good luck with your build, looks like you got it all planned out. I like the shortened steering column.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "OrngsikL"
 

We did fine through the hurricane. The 4-link for the rear came in.
I sandblasted the upper control arms and por-15 coated them. Came out pretty nice.
Now I just got to find a day to decide to pull the rear end out and slap it under this frame and start on the 4-link. I like driving the truck too much to tear it down yet, haha.
