[track70]

Well i guess it's time for a build thread for ole track 70..The vision for this build is for the truck to not look perfect on the outside but the suspension and drivetrain be ready for the track..and of course on a normal budget!!

Anyways here is a pic of her when i first got her home..not very pretty but i loved it!



Some quick info on it..1970 C10 fleetside shortbed..original 307 engine and TH350 trans, 3.08 open 12 bolt rearend...ran like crap and thought i was gonna put my foot through the floor to stop it...still had a smile on my face though!

Well after about a month of spending too much money i got the motor running perfect with a new carb,plugs,wires,dizzy,thermostat...ect.Got rid of gas tank behind seat and installed a fuel cell!



Also got some suspension goodies from CPP and ECE to get the truck to sit right..6" drop coils, Cut coils in front, and deluxe track bar




Then i cleaned up the interior a little bit with new wheel,removed all junk and leaves, it had newer style yukon seats in it when i got it which i don't like..rather have the stock bench!



After that i drove it around for a few week until i couldn't stand the brakes anymore and had some money burning a hole on my pocket..Got ahold of Rob AKA (Hart Rod) and he hooked me up with a 72 rearend and a whole complete front suspension from the same truck..Also scored a complete 68 front clip which i love..Anyways the work began...




New Front End





40 years of dirt and wussy drum brakes




Time for deconstruction







Look NO RUST..Very surpised

Well that's it for now..will finish up the front end and start on the rear disk setup soon
