New toy, 78 C10
Going to pick this up tomorrow. 78 2wd shortbed. A/C, tilt, AM/FM Cassette, 54,000 original miles, original interior, original paint, etc. Should be a fun little driver! Its gonna need a stock or 73-74 grill and an altitude adjustment with the quickness! I am WAAAAY beyond stoked!

Re: New toy, 78 C10
Nice! Welcome back to the scene over here. You plan on doing the usual coys/drop?

Re: New toy, 78 C10
Drop yes, Coys, probably not. Thinking billet!

Re: New toy, 78 C10
Good find. The crew was going to be sweet, but this one will be too. I say be tough and run slots instead of billet, though.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
Nice truck. Looks like a little SOS pad on that gear shifter would do wonders. Can't wait to see the changes. Good score.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
I have to decide on the wheels. Might drop it on the 8 inch rallys for a while until i decide on wheels.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
Its in the garage at home. Might just simplify and sell the Cummins truck, finish this one and just enjoy driving one for a while. I enjoy spending time with my wife and little one playing t-ball and all so much, it'll be nice to just not have a "project" for a while.

I'm trying to get some of those projects done before child #2 gets here so I can do the same.

Just drop the cummins in this truck! That will give you some power.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
OK, so original interior and paint is true, not 54K original miles. 154,000 miles actually. Thats all good, runs like a top! However, Craigslist strikes again, kinda. I still made the trade and drove it 1 1/2 hrs home at 75mph with zero issues. There is some rust in the front cab supports and floor above the cab supports. Inner fenders rusted and some in the front lower fenders as well as a dented tailgate. Not a big deal but was undisclosed none the less. I am going to go through the mechanicals and do the front brakes this weekend. Pics Saturday hopefully.
