I still love the power and sound of a V8, but the simple fact, for me anyway, is that I've been there done that and it was time for a change to something different, something cool, something bringing me back to my early roots of driving. I learned to drive a stick as a kid on a 1965 Ford Econoline van with a 6 Cly 3 on the tree, manual brakes and manual steering. I never forgot how much fun that old van was to drive. So now, years later, when I set out to look for my next Chevy project, I decided to find an old C10 with that same type of driveline. Now that I own one, I have no regrets ...Its a blast to drive!!
