73 Chevy C20 Build

[HotRod73]

I figured its about time I start workin on my 73 c20 so im starting a build thread for it! It started out as my stepdads grandfathers truck. I got it in 2005. It has a 350/350 combo. All factory. Now has 102k original miles. Body is pretty rusty so i have been trying to get replacement panels for it. Build will be slow but should be an awesome truck when its finished!

Plans: Beefing up the 350 and replacing all gaskets and seals.
700r4 conversion, ditch the 4:10 gears and swap to some 3:73 gears
Having joe231 cut the frame and do a lwb to swb conversion
redo the whole interior, and have the truck repainted either blue or bright red, maybe keep it orange, idk??

I'll try to get pics up since i love pics..
first set is from 2007 during a winter storm we had. Sadly thats only pics i have of it before i started tearing it apart..
