this is my project...its slowly moving along. and when i mean slow i mean slow. i am 17 years and really tight on money. just want to make my truck a daily driver. throw some paint on it and some torque thrust rims. and that will do.
of course i am an over achiever and decided what the heck ill do more to it!

this is what the truck looks like now

did a disk break conversion from a 73 c10.

intake before i broke the bolt.

and the new one i install. complements from edelbrock performer EPS. 5000rpm. non EGR..Along with the PB i added a break booster to complement the PB. as you can see in the picture

Also did power steering. so i added a ps pumb. bolted right on. (dont have a pic)
. Was really fortunate the body was super clean and 98%rust free

im keeping the suspension as is for now. dont have the money to get all fancy under there yet. perhaps at a later time

Also was really lucky that the interior was already done!!! the entire cab is upholstered with vinyl

Also have install some bucket seats. and put on the driver side rocker panel. Will post pics tomorrow
