1964 C10 SWB Build
 
Ive been looking around this forum for awhile now and have gotten a lot of great information. So I've decided to post pics and details of my build/restoration to hopefully get some feedback and suggestions as I move along the build.
Me and my brother purchased this 1964 C10 SWB about year ago as our project

PO had an early 90's 350 in the truck that had been converted to carb via an Edelbrock Intake and 650 Carb that we quickly sold to because were going a Different route for power

We bought 1972 C10 frame and were going to use it as a donor for the Disc Brakes and 5 Lug Conversion, were also going to run the HydroBoost setup since our engine already had the hydroboost power steering pump on it and we got a Hydroboost booster really cheap.
