Re: Ideas for a 70 C-10
nice truck man, i got my first chevy at 17... your truck has a roll pan and a molded front peice instead of a font bumper. i fi were you i would fix up any rust and repaint it but that is just me i am not a fan or purple that looks like a mopar color. Any ways for pwer you could put a blower on it or try a rat style build up on it instead of buying a 383 make it. The one thing to keep in mindis as the hp goes up the gas needle goes down. i am guessing this is not your daily driver right?
good luck with it is it a wood bed floor? and what model was it? if it was me i would stay away from the bottle. i am a big fan of "all throttle no bottle"

I kinda like the purple color it sets it apart from others. It looks like a very nice truck. I remember my first truck it wasnt near as nice as yours. It was a pea green 71 dodge with straight pipes and big echo cans on back. Needless to say after the first few tickets I had the exhaust fixed.

Re: Ideas for a 70 C-10
oo it probly wont be.... not untill i get a job and have time to fix it up. right now its just me and dad and i go to school and he works like 10-11 hours a day so there aint enough time to really work on it. And on the weekends we go to the dunes and go ride quads.... so for the moment the chevy project is on the back burner. but someday i hope to have it fully restored, with a 454 in it

Re: Ideas for a 70 C-10
It's nice to see another local on the board. I'm from Edmonton too, I live on the edge of the west side of town. You got a nice truck there. If you want some more power, you should probably try to go with a supercharger and that will increase your horsepower by 50%.
