WIW: 72 C-10 Longbed
Due to shifting priorities (I just retired from the AF Friday and my wife wants to buy a bigger house) I may be forced to part with my '72. I'm not sure yet so this is just a feeler.
I bought it here in Waco and have done the following work to it. I've driven it about 2000 miles so far New Scoggin Dickey 4 bolt main 290 horse crate motor New Jet Performance Stage 1 Q-jet New Alternator/Voltage Regulator New Starter New Water pump New Crinkle black valve covers and air cleaner New billet HEI New Sanderson 3/4 length headers New Four core radiator and hoses New Interstate battery Rebuilt TH350 w/new torque converter and shift kit Rebuilt 3:73 POSI w/brand new EATON POSI carrier Rebuilt/balanced drive shaft New ECE 2.5" Drop Spindles New ECE 1" Front Drop Springs New ECE 5" Rear Drop Springs New KYB shocks all around New ECE Super Track Bar New ECE Rear Shock Relocators New custom built dual exhaust w/x-pile and Flowmasters New ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman arm, idler arm New Quick Ratio Steering Box New Grant Corvette style steering wheel Newly powdercoated ralleys w/BFG 265/50/15 all around and new center caps New windshield and rubber New door window regulators/felt/rubber both sides New complete rear brakes New Front Rotors New Front wheel bearings New Heater core w/custom AC delete blower box New Fuel level sender in boiled out fuel tank New TSC tool box New Halogen headlights New passenger fender well Herculined bed On the to-do list Radiator core support, I have a brand new one. the old one has the standard rust under the battery Drivers side fender well. Some rust were it mounts to the core support. I have a brand new one waiting to be installed. Master cylinder/brake booster. Nothing wrong with the ones in the truck but I have a brand new one from another project and the old ones just look like hell. Needs the seat recovered Needs carpet The truck has the original paint so it's far from perfect. It has the typical 40 years worth of dents and scratches. Nothing major though. There is some minor rust in both cab corners but the rockers, cab supports and floors are perfect. It had some rust on the bed floor from the PO storing rotting yard waste there for 5 years which is why I sanded it down and herculined it. The truck runs and drives great, all the guages, lights and blinkers work perfectly, I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a road trip today, provided I could affort the gas that is :-) I'm probably going to eventually put it on fleabay. How much should I put the reserve at? Thanks in advance fellas.

Re: WIW: 72 C-10 Longbed
Here are a couple more pics. The aluminum intake and Holley carb arent on the motor anymore and this pic was taken when the motor and trans were sitting on my other project chassis. It has the stock steel intake and q-jet on it now.

You've done a lot of nice things there to make it a great base to finish with, but if you list it on fleabay, you're going to be upside down in it. I suppose you already knew that. Put the reserve at $5K? Congrats on your retirement, and thanks for your service! |
