Me and my dad just got this truck to build, it has already had a pretty good bit of work done to it and the guy lost interest so we took over. It has a 350 bored .30 over flat top pistons, double hump heads and a performer rpm intake, small cam and a small stall, with a th350 We need a carb fuel tank(pump), plugs and wires and all the accessories to start it. Also needs the front fenders painted fender wells put in and painted grille etc. then some paint. Also needs some shocks, has drop spindles and springs along with disc brakes up front, new wiring harness has been installed. Has a tilt steering wheel factory air cab, and i've been told the seats are pretty rare that are in it. I'm sure i forgot some stuff but i'll post up some pics so you guys can see what we have to work with.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!

Re: 71 C10 build

Good find, looks like you have a real nice truck! Cab looks in very nice condition, no rust in the typical areas.

Nice Ram Air also, I'm still trying to talk the wife in to letting me get one.

Tommorow i'm going to paint the inside of the wheels and try and find some tires to stick on them.

Re: 71 C10 build

Well i still haven't put the wheels on but i have gotten a few goodies put on

things i've installed
Holley 570 street avenger- Taylor plug wires, Distributor hold down, and starter.

Plug wire looms will be here tommorow along with a different air breather, fuel tank ordered. I'm thinking i don't like the fuel line set up that came with the holley so i'm going to order there stainless lines. Also fuel pump will be ordered tommorow.

And some pics.......
