Finally got me a C10!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68nou1 · 07-21-2014, 11:14 AM

Hey guys. Glad to say i've finally got me a c10. Its a 72 deluxe with factory ac, power steering, and brakes. I have the majority of the trim along with the factory bench seat (has a '95 bench seat in it now). Over the weekend i got the AC working but it needs to be charged, the trans fluid changed, and new brake booster. I drove it home from about 40 miles away after swapping the carb and changing the oil. I need to check the timing and the fluid in the rear end because it seems to have a little whine when im on the gas. I'll put some more picks up as i get them.

Wanted to give a quick thanks to the website because ive been reading up on them for awhile and really have found alot of useful info on here. Thanks for the help and not knowing your putting it out there.

Thanks. Its been in a barn for 2 years and as of right now im going to be fixing small stuff a little at a time due to limited budget and a little one starting to crawl. It will be a driver if i need it, but im already getting parts to fix the fenders and a new bumper. I would love to drop a 5.3 or 6.0 with an overdrive trans in it one day.

Nice find for sure

Took me a second to figure out what was odd here and the cab should be white no? Not knocking it in any way I just observing
