Picked up a new project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blue85 · 05-31-2004, 03:32 AM

I just picked up a 71 C-10 in need of a resto, rust in the usual spots, box sides are virtually rust free though have some pics on here asap.
This is my first project for this body style truck, any tips, tricks, and or hints would be greatly appreciated. I have hotmail and MSN messenger if anyone wants to ad me to their lists my email is ryanleader@hotmail.com. What is the best way to relocate the fuel tank in these trucks, and also i am wondering about converting to T10 4speed manual, any tips on doing this?

Thanx and see ya around!

Welcome to the board from southern oregon this board is full of knowledgleable people who can help you out with question's.. It's pretty easy to relocate the tank to under the bed useing a blazer tank and assorted hardware.
