One tuff truck build.

Starting with a sweet n innocent stock '85 C10.

I got some suspension from 1 ton van. I didn't know the rear was the little 14 bolt but has large brakes.

NV4500 - I still need to find a bellhousing. I have the tower shifter model.

Fuel injection - I have the 2 barrel pro-jection to slap on.

383 - I have collected most of the parts needed. Once my motor for my car is finished at the machine shop I can send this one in.

Basically I'm building a towing vehicle. I hate pulling my trailer with the Avalance because I can't really see out the back of it as I can with the '85

Re: One tuff truck build.

Wow, been a while since i've been here. I didn't do to much to the truck since then. I put the pro-jection on it but never ran a new return line to the tank. I put a hitch in it and that's about it. Truck just sits in the driveway.
