Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
I posted an update and am finally back at it, just because you asked :)! 4X4 build has been fun but it's like adding a bit of additional length to the story problem you're trying to figure out. For example, my LS harness has a speed sensor that used to be wired into a transfer case and won't work with my NP 205....what to do?
I'm excited for all of us to be able to get back to work and hopefully come out in 2021 with awesome builds! |

To my shame almost another year has zipped by with zero progress. Now Loyd is a recycle bin and a catch all....:waah:

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
The good news is that your powertrain is new enough that you still have a few years before it becomes as common as a gen 3/4 swap.
Don't sweat it though - you're probably doing more important things with your time and money. But I do cringe a little bit seeing it full of recycling. |
Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
I have to commend you for trying, but when they said “Milk, it does a body good”, they didn’t mean it would do your body work for you!!!:lol::mm::bann:
Sorry, I couldn’t resist a cheesy joke... Srsly tho, we totally know how it goes with life getting busy, lots of other things take precedent and it’s not easy to find free time. Thanks for taking the time to update tho and let us know about Lloyd, you’ll get there and we’ll look forward to progress as it comes. |

I wasn't looking for another hobby, Lord knows I have too many already. The goats are here to reduce my property tax bill. I'll be applying for an agricultural tax exemption. I estimate it'll save us 5k/yr. ;) |

I went to the C10 Nationals yesterday to meet a couple of heavy hitters on the forum, and hopefully find the inspiration needed to get Loyd back under the knife and ultimately roadworthy. Here are some of the beauties that jazzed me.

I had the pleasure of putting a face to a name with these 2 guys. Chevyland (Eric) and davischevy (other Larry). Here we we're checking out an incredible 71 GMC Carryall.

I also got to meet 1971Stepside (Shannon) and see his work of art. He trailered his truck all the way from Springfield, Missouri. His truck is about as perfect as they come.:metal:

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Man oh man are you making me jealous. First of all that's a way cooler show than anything we have up here. And second, there hasn't even been a show to speak of here since all this covid came about. I'd love to make it down there to a show some day. Thanks for sharing:metal:

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Thank you for posting these! My goal is to haul all the way from Utah to be there next year...or one of these years! Looks like a fun event and the pictures alone help with the motivation.
I guess I'll fit right in with the modern drivetrain crowd as crazy as that seems with how hard these swaps actually are. |
Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
I didn't make it to the show but met Shannon after the show Saturday, had to meet and check out his truck. It is awesome. Brian I wish I knew you were going man could have met as well. We're close enough need to make that happen. Wouldn't mind checking out those 12 tax exempts and uncle Lloyd too :thumbs:

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
It was awesome to meet you at the show. I'm glad you took the time to introduce me to others and thanks for the kind words about my truck.
Hopefully you are motivated to get back to work on yours! |

If possible drive your truck when you come. It's been way too long since I've ridden in a classic Chevy, and I really want to see what it's like with an LS. I've been driving 5.3's and 6.0's for over a decade but never in a classic. I'd love to get a ride in yours! |

I’d save a bunch of money if I could just stay away from Facebook Marketplace and craigslist. But since I can’t….

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
Sweeeet, so cool. I really like it! But I could never keep it, I envy those that have the room for the big toys!

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10
That is sweet. And it's in really good condition too it looks like. Are you changing the bed?
