Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Took a picture of Raul's pool table because it was full of new parts. In fact all the engine parts are all in the garage, in the closets, kids room I mean there are parts EVERYWHERE so I dont know what the hold up is and now I find the thread has been inactive for almost two weeks. Raul come out from wherever you are and start finishing this truck as cruising season is almost here.

Dale!!!!:lol:

Hey Raul, the speaker pods that in the cab corners. Are those a weld in or bolt in type thing. Getting ready to do my stereo system in my Chevy and like those.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

comp springs ect ,

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Those speaker brackets are heavy duty too. love the set i got.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Wow! I am about 85% certain that I am going to TT my '71, but honestly scared to do it. I have never built anything forced induction. I think it will be fun though.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

it is a lot of fun once your are done and have it tune right , but not an easy road to go down to unless you like to build and have patience to deal with all the changes and mods you have to do , and do lots and lots of reaserch before you start building or you will end up doing things over and over

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

small update !!! since im not working on the truck in the summer , i figure it will be a good time to tackle the tranny , lucky for me i have tech who build gm trannys for 20+ years here in our shop , the tranny was working fine but it need it some high end parts to be able to handle a little more horse power !!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

:metal::metal: oh yea!! Hit me up bud. I'll swing by.
