Hey ya'll just like it says I picked up a 72 C10 long a little over a week ago. 307 V8... It's a dog of an engine but considering its age it screams pretty good. Nonetheless a vortec replacement is in its future. We're keeping the TH350 and 12bolt rear yay! Have to double check that and the gearing...
Anyway the frame minus 1 trailing arm looks good... Body has lots to be desired though and thought I would share as many pics as possible so ya'll could help me get started in the right direction. It'll be a weekend driver for showing off and making my kids go oooooo... No big deal really just a nice summer daily driver for Alaska... Winter garaged lol. Anyway on to the pics

Think this is the trailing arm I'm worried about a little wavy and strange rust pattern there in the middle... Can I replace those without stripping to the frame or worrying about frame staying straight? Meaning can I bolt on and off that member?
