Re: My 1st Project: 1972 Chevy C10

Its been awhile and finally was able to do some more work on the truck.

Also did some research and I am running a 91 5.7L V8 from a C1500. It has the "captain bars" cylinder heads and I am currently contemplating replacing them.

Needs body work but thats ok Im not trying to make a show truck just a daily driver that might turn some heads.

Eventually it will have new...
Paint - Red
Carpet - Red
Seat Cover - Red/White
Engine bay - nice and pretty
New Rims - Smoothies 16x6s
New Tires - 205/55/16 whitewalls
New mufflers - Flowmaster 50 series
maybe a new fuel tank, need to learn more about the ones installed on it.
