WoW, been a long time since I have posted anything on here about #Junk my 64 C10. It's still in my possession. In 2018 I did a T-5 swap. this was the best mod I have done to the truck.

sambrutay · 10-27-2022, 08:06 AM

I have put over 11k miles on this truck since the T-5 swap. The last trip was Truckin the Trace where my wife and I put close to 900 miles on it driving from Louisville Ky to Tupelo Mississippi and back.

Thanks for the update. Glad to see you kept the I6. When I got my truck it was complete minus motor and trans. Picked up a 292 with a granny 4 speed for $285 on CL. Shortly after I picked up a 327 for it. Well, it's been 7 years now and the 292 is still in it. Just can't bring myself to swap it out.
BTW what was involved with swapping to the T5? I swapped the rear to 308's and it's pretty good but another gear wouldn't hurt. Cheers.

Very nice.

I installed the Jeep input shaft and followed this recipe.

Here we are in Tupelo at Truckin the Trace. We was only about an hour away from Calhoun City where it was sold new at Allen Ray Chevrolet. I would have driven there if the dealership was still in existence.

Man, I'm still diggin' this truck. Glad you're out there enjoying it.
