Re: 1980 Chevy C10 - Ugly but Functional

A lot has changed here - since my last post, I've mostly just done repairs - brakes, driveway alignment, cleaned up/insulated/resealed the interior, and... a lot of driving. 11,000 miles since the swap. Its been my daily driver (outside of winter time,) commuter, work truck, Halloween decoration, etc.

After 3 years of falling in love with it, its time for it to come apart again and at least have the mechanical portions gone through and upgraded or fixed. Body will always be what it is. I've got an LQ4 sitting here waiting to be dropped in, likely going to get swapped to a manual trans when the current engine/trans come out for another daily driver project I'm gathering parts for. This will always be my shop truck/test mule.







(Thanksgiving tradition is that I drive the truck... no matter what the weather is.)


(Sound deadener, LMCTruck carpet kit, new steering wheel, tucked the PCM/etc behind/above the glove box, new window and door seals)
