Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion

I was a long time finding a suitable project truck. I was originally going to buy a medium duty with a Detroit Diesel, but after countless less than favorable reviews of that engine and my limited experience with diesel engines I decided to go with gas.

The next thing was finding a truck that was not completely rotted. That was a bit of a challenge. I do not mind a bit of body work, but cab corners and rockers are not my forte.

My next thing was finding a truck with budd style wheels and not Dayton style wheels. After about a year of searching this truck appeared. And so the story goes...
