It has been 10 years since I have started a build thread, so I guess it is time to get started on my '71 C30 that I intend to slam on bags with a custom dump flat bed.
This will be a budget build as my last one was so I will be custom fabricating the rear frame and suspension and most of the front. I have so many ideas running through my head and I am sure it will morph in final result.

I drove 6 hours one way with cash in hand to dig this fossil out of the hills above Fresno Ca. with a fork lift. The body is in remarkable condition, and it has Alcoa wheels that I like although they are only 16" and I would have preferred at least 18".

So if I have your interest join in for the ride, it is going to be a slow build but it has been one I have been thinking about for 7 years.
