Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

I charged the A/C system today and it all went perfect a cool 37 degrees....
Having an issue with my tranny now hopefully it will be solved in the next few days and off to the body shop again to finish repainting the outside and getting my new wheels which I still cant decide on..

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

I think it looks good the way it is. why not stay with the wheels you have? they're a classic, and look like they belong on the truck.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

They do look good I need to get new center caps and the wheels are faded even thou I had them polished I am looking into changing the look a bit even thou I kept the same paint scheme....

Thanks for the nice comment....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Your truck looks absolutely sick. I have a 72 Cheyenne Super I'm resto-modding and was unsure about sticking with the two tone. After seeing your truck there isnt a doubt in my mind. Also, congrats on the new one, my son is 9 months old and will get my Super when he's old (and mature) enough to enjoy it. Keep up the good work, I'm drooling.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Thank you very much for the nice comments.....I wanted the truck to look stock everywhere except when it is running or with the hood opened.....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Well she is all finished up for the time being time to start driving it and breaking the motor in. Right now I am just thinking what wheels to choose which I will make a descision soon I hope.

Things to do:

Wheels and tires

Back to the body shop to repaint doors, fenders and bed

Do a mild stereo


Well here she is all cleaned up and ready to drive it home. The drive home was beyond words every lite people admiring, thumbs up it drove awesome and I could actually see the gas needle go down as I pressed the accelerator...:lol::lol::lol:

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Let me know if you decide on some new wheels and tires. I'd like to potentially buy the ones you have now. Glad to see it all together. Looks great.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

I am definetly getting new wheels just cant decide which ones, there have been several people interested in my wheels. I will post them in the sales section when I am ready to take them off. Also I will send pm's to those that are interested and I will sell them really cheap...

thank you for you comments....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Looking Good Al.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Al that looks awesome! Where did you get those wire clips on the back of the heads?? Hows the fit of the headers?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Thank you!!!!!!


The wire clips are from home depot the electrical section .49 cents a piece.......The headers fit great the only complaint on my part is that I have to use the shorty spark plugs...

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

After driving the truck a few days here and there I brought it back to my shop to rejet the carburator which was five minutes to do. I also had the same ol tires balanced and the truck aligned. The aligment on this is a royal pain since we dont ever see this kind of suspension. Anyhow lets see how the bucket drives and hopefully nothing else will surface.....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
 

Well boys and girls for now this thing is done.....All aligned new inner and outer tie rods till january or till my my wheels come in then I will go from there. It definetly has been pretty easy considering what some people go thru sometimes. all cleaned up and ready to go into my garage till the weekend....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
