Hey guys.... hope you enjoy the build thread.
Have a 1966 Chevy C10 SWB Fleet that was a running and driving truck w/ a 350 and a Super T-10.
Out it goes.... and in will be a 5.3/4L60e combo ('maybe' 6.0/4L80e... well $ee)

Hauling her home.
Unloaded and into its new home.
The old 350/T10
Base Trim model
Pretty healthy for a Wisconsin truck... Although it will need rockers and corners,fender patches, and a bit of toe-board work... (cab mounts are beautiful).
