been here for a bit here is my truck!
1972 C/10....... after years of searching, and not finding anything, or not having the money when i did find something, i pulled the trigger! i put hotchkis springs on it 4/6 drop, 20x8.5 show wheels up front, and 20x10 show wheels in the rear. i dynamatted the whole cab, actually i didnt use dynamat, i used the stuff from lowes the found on he forum, i put black carpet, and a dash pad, i put a referbished gauge cluster w/ tach that i found from a guy on ebay. the guy does awesome work. i highly recommend him! i put the brake booster in from performance online, the fuel tank was already moved to the back. its got discs up front drums in the rear. my motor is a small block with edelbrock aluminum heads, edelbrock performer rpm air gap manifold, and a holley ultra street avenger 670cfm carb. i had an edelbrock carb on it but i pulled that for a holley cause i couldnt get it to run right! i changed all the plug wires and rebuilt the distributer.... im happy with it so far, i wanna paint it, (the same color) but there is probably some suspension stuff i should do first! let me know what you guys think.....

Re: been here for a bit here is my truck!
Not a fan of the steering wheel, or tube grill, but both are easily changed, and overall, I LOVE the truck! Nice work.

Re: been here for a bit here is my truck!
Nice looking truck. What is the sellers name that you got the gauge from? I will be putting a tach in my truck eventually.

Re: been here for a bit here is my truck!
That's a nice truck! I love the color. What is it and was it a factory color?
