The truck is a 72, just ended up going together with the 68 nose. Drivetrain consists of an Lq4 with a GMPP ASA cam and ls6 springs. Ultimate converter concepts converter, linked to a 4L80e. All stock suspension with AVS air ride components, running a 2nd gen camaro front sway bar. All work has been done by myself, from start to finish. I've owned the truck almost 15 years, and it's been a rolling project for close to 8 years consecutively. Started with a 454 and turbo 400, ditched that combo in favor of weight and drivability. Overall very satisfied with the truck, really looking forward to suspension and brake upgrades next, as funding allows. The truck gets driven on an almost daily basis, built to be driven and enjoyed not just looked at!

Sweet ride!
Have you ever been to the Bass Pro Shops Cruise at Foxboro on Thursday nights?
I try to get out there a few times a year.

Yep! I'm over there as often as I can make it. I am only 15 min from patriot place so unless I have a pressing job going on, I'll be there at just about every one this year. Nice ride you have there, pretty sure I've seen it >> there's a couple nice red C-10's I've seen frequently there. @sicklajoie

Man that's one awesome truck! You should stop by our car show with it in July, we'd love to have some of you guys.

Here's an event page about it on our FB page if some of you guys would like to share it out.

Sorry bud, I was there- only for about an hour. You will almost always find me up at the top of the hill parked somewhere along the grass. I usually hang out up on the guard rail and watch what's coming and going, perfect spot to see everything there. I did see a good handful of trucks tonight! If the weather is nice, I'll be there next time around, hopefully before 6:30!

I park in the same spot pretty much every time too, just like the pictures show.
