Build thread, 70 c10 my first ride

Back in 07 I bought my first ride, my 1970 c10 for $1000, it had the original 307v8 and th350, i am the third owner of this truck it has never left Southern Michigan/Northern Indiana. The guy that I bought it from drove the old 307 into the ground. So the intention was to put a 350 in it. it took about 2 years to find an engine i could afford and was worth it, i opened the engine up and put a new crank, cam, rings, timing set, and an air gap intake. I ran this for a year, the i took the engine back out over last winter and had the tranny rebuilt, also got a bigger cam and a edelbrock 600 cfm with a pro-flo air filter, long tube headers (wrapped which made a huge difference in the running temp and sound of the exhaust) full true duals, and converted to disc brakes through McGauhey, 2000 stall converter, add on engine oil and tranny fluid cooler, lots of other stuff i am sure lol, drawing a blank atm lol, i will post pics of the start and post as many as i have through my build so far
