1971 chevy C10 short box
 

i am just starting my rebuild of my 71 C10. Right now it has a
blown 350 but plan on up grading to a blown 383.
its got a turbo 700 tran
3.55 posi rear end
short box fleet side
plan on lowering 2" in front and 4" in rear
plan on putting cowl hood
not to sure about the grille? stock or billet? any idea's
same with the paint leave it a two tone or make it one colour?
if you got any ideas on colour combo if i keep the two tone put it down and if i go single colour im thinking of that copper orange like off of trucks.
going to put new dual pipes heaers back and might put in the pipe cut off where it comes straight out of the headers with a flip of a switch.
any other ideas im open.

here are some pics

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

thanks i will keep you posted on what happens to the truck

I'm going to save you alot of time here; Your truck looks great you're done!:smoke:

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

looks awesome so far! i think the stock hood look better than a cowl hood its a much more sleeper effect and they look funny to me. is she pretty fast???

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

shes pretty fast but could have more bottom end im not looking for top speed. thank you Rideto100 but there can always be more done.;) and ya still debating on the hood.

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

yeah i hear ya no need for a street truck to 150mph as long as its quick. ive got 4:10 in the rear end mines pretty snappy light to light but she does not like the freeway at all.lol

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

nice looking rig! i'd roll it like it is!

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

i agree.....looks pretty snappy!

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

very nice truck. I'd focus on the drop and then the engine/exhaust if you want and leave the paint/hood alone as they look great! But of course it's your truck so do what you want with it.....either way it's already an awesome truck!

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

you cant tell from the pics but the paint starting to get a little faded because it was a texas truck.

Re: 1971 chevy C10 short box
 

Nice truck! It'd be hard for me to tear that apart because it does look pretty darn good the way it is!
