1971 c10 project 3/4ton axles, 454,th400,4x4

I just bought a clean 71 c10.
I have a few plans. I have cleaned it up a bit. I fixed some dings and holes in the bed and had it line-x. Also had a small spot of rust on lower front drivers door. Line-x lower body line and down in white. Think I will run a black pin stripe where line-xmeets paint.
Going to reupholstrer everything in black and white.
Want to rebuild 454 and trans.
Everthing seemsto work. I'm just finding small things (rubber bumpers and trim) that I'm replacing along the way.
Post some pics.

I spend my money on my truck not my girlfriend. Because I will have it longer and less people will be in it.

OK rest of trucks. Let me know what you guys think. I also think it needs a small lift and 33's.
By the way dates on pics are all wrong. Think my son messed with my camera. Took most pics in past two weeks.

Thanks plummen.

Can anyone tell me or show me what 1971 inside doorslook like. I think the ones on my truck are off a different year. Like to put the correct years style on in black and white.
