Just what I thought you were doing after having seen your ads in the classifieds. What size LSx are you going with?

Hello,
I have a original 1962 C10 Custom Cab Long bed also that is pretty much a 1 owner truck since 1962 other than me getting it recently, with a great story also. But I was very curious, you mentioned that your grandpa ordered his with a corvette 283. Mine is very original also and it has a 4 barrel and a cake dish snorkel type air cleaner similar like on the C30 C50 series that has the 327. Did your grandpas engine look like that also? Let me know. I think mine is all original like the way it came possibly. |

I did however get the first hit rod I ever worked on back in my life last year..I was 17 last time I drove this car...1959 Bugeye sprite w ford 5.0 ho engine..c5 trans..240z IRS
best times are in mid 10s Reno airport I ran a g tech on it...0 to 60 3.2 secs |
Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
Awesome Sprite, I've been itching to do one with a Honda s2000 drivetrain. Bummer on the back, I had laser spine surgery 2 years ago. Finally reached the point I couldn't work so I had to do something about it. I have to limit what I lift to about forty pounds max but I've been good since, knock on wood.
