Re: maxxy's 81 bagged c10 build
Nice score!! But looking at the grille and the headlight/marker light, that's not an 81. Unless some changed out the grill, rad support and bumper, it's an 83 or >. What is the last 8 digits of the VIN?

Re: maxxy's 81 bagged c10 build
It's an 81 then, but that is not an 81-82 front end. This is what the 81-82's look like. Note the marker lights are in the bumper.
Single headlight option: ![]() Dual headlight option: ![]()

Re: maxxy's 81 bagged c10 build
maybe its the fuzzy picture but the weld on such an important piece doesnt look that strong. I would double check the grade on that 3/4 all thread... i would want to know what grade for sure... im with everyone else.. ive never seen a grade 8 all thread. plus when you weld bolts, they arnt as strong as they use to be.

Re: maxxy's 81 bagged c10 build
Nice!
I'm just curious what strength rating the all thread has. Most all of it I've seen is low or no grade, pretty weak stuff. Just trying to err on the cautious side ![]()

Re: maxxy's 81 bagged c10 build
Most all thread is grade 2. Which is soft.

Re: maxxy's 81 bagged c10 build
yeah dealers auto auction is correct. i normally would be hesitant on someone elses project but for the price and with as little things they couldve screwed it up beyond repair, i couldn't pass it up. and 99% of the body work is done too.
the guy at atwoods (who seemed to know what he was talking about) told me all thread as big as 3/4" should bea able to hold up to most anything i throw at it. i was getting sick if the copper on the back of the cab so layed down some primer. ![]() i added extra support to the support thingys. im pretty sure thats what they called it at the factory right? haha ![]() ![]()
