New guy from Texas.

Hi, I'm new to the site but not to the trucks. I've had my '71 for almost 10 years now. The truck is mainly a work truck which I don't drive unless I need it.

I just started a new job at a body shop (I'm not a bodyman) so now the body guys are helping me get started on fixing it up now.

It C-10 fleetside SWB with a 402/TH400.

Here's a couple pics.


I'm daydreaming now about fixing it up. The cab is pretty rotted above the windshield and I have an extra cab that's in good shape to start to work on.

Well I hope to pick up a tip or two here.

Thanks,
Richard.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
