Once this one is finished then Jump on the next. I know once you are on a mission you get things finished so stay the course then proceed.....

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Maybe Al buys the blue one?

Raul- when I bought my second one, it took a majority of my time and money to get it going too. Its really tough to do both. I havent really touched my step in almost a year. Id finish the white one first. Where would you put the blue one?

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Chad I have changed my mind about buying anything else as by Not having no room where to store it. That's why I did not buy the beige truck my coworker bought. Once my new dealership is finished then I can add a couple more to the herd if I found the right one.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

i hear ya but as you know i have other cars and i dont touch them

you tell them AL !!!

zup chad , my plroblem its not storage for cars or parts i have a nice size storage for parts two miles from the house and my friend just upgraded to a 40,000 sf warehouse where i can store cars , its a 2 car garage that limits me on the fun shop i would love to have , heck i'm even considering buying yours

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

You need it man.. :lol: That truck will be nice when finished.

.. literally some of the best OEM metal I have ever seen. Lokar stuff all over it. New painless harness for it. ..etc. I used the console/ buckets in the GMC though. It just needs finished up. Im in over my head man. I just need to focus on one. Trying to start a family too.

small update , at work there's a couple of gm veterans on ls motors and one of them gave me a head bolt that he made some groves on it to clean the threads , cool idea , i used it and it works good , the complete engine bare now , a bath tomorrow to get rid of all the mashine shop particles and let the fun begin on sunday !!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Very cool!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks rex !!!!

today i did a bid more than i had planed , after work got the engine and parts cleaned out and was able to get the crank gaged, dialed in and installed , also got the pistons and rods ready for the am as im done for today, im really exited as ive never build an ls motor before only old school !! also ill like to share the 87 i posted a couple of months ago , its done , we did a full ride tech suspension front and rear , wilwood brakes all around and pro wheels , 22x10 rear and 20x8.5 out front , it was a quick build as the truck was in great shape , and i hope you guys like it !!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Love the scotts front end and that 87 is very nice! Glad to see you back on it Raull !
