new here, my 71
my 71 c10. has a 350/400. i just bought a 402 BBC which is at the shop now. i have had the truck for about 10 years. plans are to lower it (not slam it!) upgrade to a cheyenne super, put in a full tubular suspension along with a ton of other stuff.

Re: new here, my 71
thank you z1971! i see we share the same taste! looks as though yours is in nicer shape than mine. i need to do a frame off before too long. i already need to find a cab. the upper panel above the windshield is rusted on mine. :-(

Re: new here, my 71
First...Welcome from Central Florida!
Thanks for protecting our freedom!! Machinegunner...oh how I miss my Browning M2 Heavy Barrel! Sweet looking truck. Don't scrap the cab because it's rusted above the windshield...any good metal man can fix it. Mine was too...it's all metal now. Your gunna love that Big Block! Rock on Bro.

Re: new here, my 71
Welcome to the best site on the web brother,
Thank you for your service, and that's a B E A..utiful truck!! Lowered is the way to go with a long bed, the lower the better! but I think you'd be happy with a 3/5 drop Thanks again for your service, and God bless Ryan G

Re: new here, my 71
SEMPER FI!
Welcome to the board brother. I was in the Corps as well from '02 to '07. Good to see other Marines on here. Nice looking truck by the way. These guys on here have a wealth of knowledge about these trucks. If you have questions, just ask.
