New to the board
Hello out here. New to the board so please go easy on the rookie. Just wanted to share my 1972 c10 with you all. I have only had the truck for about a month now(I traded my custom bike for it) and i must say it was worth it. The truck is solid with no rust, AZ all of its life. The guy who had it last put the wrong year grill on it, but I have a 72 grill that will be going on it soon. It's a stock 350 with a turbo 350. I am thinking of putting a gear vendors under/overdrive in it. Has anyone used them and what was the results?
Thanks and talk with you guys soon Yenko21 |

Re: New to the board
Thanks for sharing! Is your truck lowered any?
Give bowtieoverdrive.com a look and see what you think about there set up!

Re: New to the board
Thanks for all the responses. The truck is lowered with drop spindles up front and blocks in the rear. The guys before me heated up the springs to lower it more. I will be installing new springs or maybe airbags go get a better ride soon.
