1971 C10 Stepside Big Block Restoration
 

Well here we go again my Father and I came across another great project truck. It's a 1971 C10 Stepside with a 396/402 BIG Block. Don't know exactly what we are going to do with it yet, but will defiantly keep you all informed on the progress.

Well after a few months of procrastinating we finally went to go pick it up. Bad sight when we got there to get it. Some stupid punks busted the windows out and bashed up the front grill. Well now I know what we will be doing first.

Add a turbo lol, nice find, to bad about all the glass

Sounds like a plan the Only good thing about the glass was the price of the truck FREE

Do you know how 'big' the Big Block is? I'm sure I'll get flamed for it from the LS guys but just a mild cam and strong bottom end with a decent set of heads and you'll be 400+ hp easily. They all burn gas..

Re: 1971 C10 Stepside Big Block Restoration
 

Looks like a good truck to start with! You might have replaced the glass during your build anyway... Sucks someone did that specially to the grille..
