another new guy.....
Hi my name is Nick, this is my first post and I would like to share my 2 pride and joys.
the first one is the reason I'm on this board, it is a 67 c10 that I got from the grandson of the original owner. He had lowered it incorrectly and had the tail lights installed in the fenders (that I think I am going to keep) they are vaga tail lights. I got the truck 9 years ago when I was 19, since then it has been completely taken apart, I got another frame and rebuilt the suspension with a 4/6 drop, disk brakes, swapped to 5 lug front and rear, repaired the floor and reinstalled the cab . Put a 383ci and th400 and rebuilt the rear end. the trans. will not stay in because I have the T56 out of my other ride and will be installing it when I get back on the truck. The bed is just sitting on the frame because I just moved. I am thinking of putting 20" TT2's on the back and will be painting it black.  My other ride is a 97 TransAm that has turned into a drag car for the most part, it can still be driven on the street and has A/C but you don't go to fast with a th400, 3600 converter, and trans brake. It also has a 9", and 383ci with a 76mm turbo.  I will get more pics of the truck soon and if anyone would like I have pics and vids of the T/A. |
