Re: Rehabilitating a ‘71 C-10 Cheyenne

Plus... through the years, my dad has gotten a little, um, creative with this truck.

He added 1-ton springs in the back at one point. But that needs to be checked over. I'm not sure parts would match up like they should.

Also, it had no power brakes. He says he added power brakes and all brake parts off of a ... oh, I forget now. Some big 70s sedan maybe.

I need to patch a hole in the floorboard above the bell housing. He'd cut a hole and planned to put a manual transmission in it.

He swears it was supposed to be a 4-bolt. He put the 2-bolt main in from some car or another, bored out 60 over (though the shop said it was only 40 over). I don't think that truck ever had anything bigger than a 350 in it.

I think there's a few other things going on, but not sure what yet.
