1986 C10 SWB - College Project!

[Tevon]

Hey everyone! My name is Tevon and i am currently attending a community college for two years with the intent of getting a degree for Auto Body, I'm currently working on a 1986 C10 Shortbed, Frame off resto.

Engine caught on fire, so i have brand new fenders, inner and out, hood, grille, headlight bezels, and soon to be radiator support.

I plan on repairing the bed, Support rails, and above the wheel arches are rusted threw but with a Tabco patch panel i hope to repair those.

Ill post all the pictures i can, and will post a "need parts" info page in the same forum.

The bed is off the frame, all the older fenders, rad support, and the cab will soon be getting patched.

Goals for it at the moment, are a 5.3L from a 2001 suburban, a 4L80E from a 1995 3500 2WD and a big ole' turbo.

I also have new glass already.
Everything, cab, bed, frame, will be sandblasted.

I also will be getting new interior, no idea what i am going to do for seats yet.

Any constructive criticism is allowed.

I'm open to ideas

Just a 18 year old with big dreams.
