Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
Needs both outer rockers and a small patch on the left inner where it meets the floor but everything else is solid

Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
How is it under the hood. The Edelbrock sticker and white letter tires make me wonder what else has been done.
Nice honest looking truck for sure.

Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
Thanks guys been working on the wiring some for the taillights they had spliced in a trailer plug and did a crappy job. I've taken the rear harness out cleaned it all up, repaired a couple spots, and rewrapped it. Now I just got to clean my grounds, put the new bulbs in and hope I have rear lights.

Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
ok im having some trouble with the rear lights, when they work they are either real dim, or the wrong bulb works, which seems to be a ground issue. ive cleaned both of the grounds behind the bedside marker lights, but that didnt help any, anyone have any ideas.

Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
not bad for 2500.00, plans are new wood for bed floor, 4/6 drop, white walls, and drive it. ill fix the rust in the rockers sometime too, then restore as time goes.

Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
I really like it and I think you scored on it. I have really grown to like these era trucks.
