71 C10 Shorty "Betty"

Hey all I've been here awhile I don't post much. Here is "Betty". She currently has 350/th350, mild cam, shift kit. Tilt wheel, sport buckets and console I'm currently redoing. Lowered 6 in up front and 6 in on the rear. I alternate between these stock steelies with caps and 18/20 staggered Torq Thrust combo for wheels.Driver side rocker replaced in May. Still have the pass side to do. 1971 WA license plates with real 1971 year tag. I drive this girl everyday and have been for going on 7 years now. Paint is about 20 years old and will be redone when the rust repair is all finished. Have a good night !

Me too! But it gives it that sleeper look. Kinda like... I'm an old truck but I'm slammed and will kick your ass if you aren't paying attention to me! At least it will look like a sleeper when I put a big block in it eventually lol.
