Project Noah - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Might as well start a build thread for the old 71. I bought the truck from a customer of ours. We have worked on her mower several times and would always see this truck parked behind a tractor. I finally asked her about it and she let me look at it. She offered to sell it and I think I said I’d by it before she ever said a price. She told me I could call the truck Noah. I don’t know why she said that name, but it felt fitting so that’s that. These pics are the day she let me look at it.

I really like the Back Bumper.

I got it to the shop and installed a new set of point and poured some fuel down the carb and she fired right up. I checked all the fluids and rigged a gas can to fuel her and she cranks right up and purrs like a kitten. So knowing she would run, I went to the fuel tank and pulled it thinking I could clean it. Not a chance! It was half fuel of 20 year old fuel and rust. So that gets me to where I am. I think I’ve ordered the wrong fuel tank so I got to swap that out. Here’s some random pics of the interior I took this afternoon.

Those rockers are solid! Interior and floor mat looks like it should clean up real nice too.

I’m guessing 116k on the mileage.

I tried to get some pics of the paint so yall could tell me what I needed to do about it. It’s got white paint scuff marks all over it. And some light rust in spots. Need y’all’s opinions. I’m also hoping those front bumper brackets are bent and nothing serious.

That rear bumper is a beast. It was definitely a farm truck. The woman I bought it from said her father-in-law bought it new. Noticed on the tag in the glove box it said rear step bumper and heavy rear springs. He was definitely using the truck. She’s also got an 81 C30 2wd in great shape I want to go buy. Lol
