That would do a lot to the stance of the truck. from Florida

I doubt that'll ever happen lol I am taking it back how it should be. Crimson red and a little taller side wall. Muncie 4 speed and original radio. Those are the things I'd like to go with atm. But things change oh to often lol

great story so far and motor is looking good
just wondering if your water temp sender might be better off in one of the inlet manifold holes before the thermostat rather then where it is-give you a truer indication of motor temp??
anyway,thanks for all the pictures.

We're changing that tomorrow lol My grandfather said the same thing earlier, and it is very true. We were planning on putting it in the inlet hole, but wasnt sure if itd clear the hose. Now that we no it clears, we're swapping it. We mainly just plugged it up real quick to make sure it'd crank and all electrical was still good.

We have everything goin good on the motor. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Gotta do a lil brake work and we'll be ready to hall ass.

We drove the truck down the road earlier. Everything checked out fine! We'll be driving it a little further tomorrow to check again. So far the tranny is still shifting good. That was our only concern. Gotta love these old trucks!

Drove the truck some more. So much fun to drive, I love it. And the power mixed with the not so great handling makes it an adventure. I looked down and was going somewhere between 70-80 today on a back road lol. It rides pretty smooth. We're going to try and take it to the next town over this weekend, and see how things go. Can't really go to far do to the tires. They are in the mayblow state lol. They could last 100 straight miles, or could last 100 feet. You can never tell. The rears were stamped in 83, so that should give you an idea. New tires may take a few weeks, so in tell we get there it'll be short sweet drives.


Also, here is a picture from probably the mid 80's. The truck looked a tad different lol And the pic is old, so forgive me for the quality

A little street rod action :P

The question is how bad do you got the c10 bug?
Cuz I know I got it bad, I think about my truck all the time.
I dont know how much money im going to end up spending on it but I know its going to be alot because I wont be able to leave it alone.

[70c10stepside]

I've got it pretty bad! Lol I'm constantly outside with it

Hope you guys like pics :P Well, got in the new fuel sending unit. Its in, can't wait to start body work! Also. I put a fire extinguisher in the truck, just in case. Old wiring, and a fresh motor.... Yeah, I am highly afraid something bad will happen.
