1971 Chevrolet C10

Just wanted to post some pictures of a C10 I just bought.

Previously I have had two 1968 C10s - all were a bit too rusty and I was a bit too young to really figure out what I wanted to do.

Anyway I have ordered some smoothy caps 10'-1/8'' and new front bumps stops as apparently the others fell out. As well as a new gear indicator lens. I will post some pictures of the interior and the engine soon. Its a 350cu in with a 350 tranny

Any advice on anything is welcome.
Thanks



Here is the imgur post for more pictures.

It was leaking some transmission oil when I first got it home but seems to have relaxed. The truck obviously needs some love but that is the whole point.

Re: 1971 Chevrolet C10

Some pretty crude remarks after your pics. Hope they’re friends of yours.
Likely none of them have ever seen the bottom side of a vehicle.
Looks fairly clean to me.
A good start to a righteous ride!
Where in BC are you?
I saw that truck for sale somewhere.

They are just random internet kids from imgur - and you are probably very right that they have never looked under a classic vehicle.

It was for sale in Fort Langley for apparently the last couple years around Summer time - then he would take it down and it has been slowly going down with each years post.

I paid $6100 USD

8 grand. Not a bad price.
Have you checked the body for filler?
A fridge magnet works well for that.
What motor?
You got pics of the motor?

The cab to bed body line appears spot on.

It looks like someone has already done a lot of the hard work. Good for you. That steering wheel looks like a Grant wood wheel I had in my first truck way back when.
