What do you think of her?
Well guys about a year ago my brother who was only 14 at the time bought this old 69 c-10. It has a 307 with a 3 on the tree. No power steering or power brakes. The box is in amazing condition for a midwest truck and the cab really isn't that bad either. This last summer we bought a 72 cheyenne that was a pos, but ti was complete with all the power options and a/c. So now the fun begins. Between my brother and i, we have collected a truck load of parts for it and now just need to get started. Mainly waiting for my buddy to get his building up so he can do the body work. Oh yeah we paid $1500 for the 69 and $450 for the 72. I think we made out alright.
Obviously this truck won't be put back to stock. I have a 454 in the garage for it. Originally we were going with a 383 stroker, but dad says its too much for the truck. I have obtained a TH 400 for it. We have all the parts from the 72 to make it an a/c truck and 5 bolt with disc brakes. Want to find a 3:73 posi for it though. Plus many otheer little goodies for it. When its all said and done i would to put a tack vac dash in it and a tilet column with the cheyenne super interior. Also drop the front an inch. We are going to paint it back to the original olive green with the forest green interior(mainly because the seat is already reupholstered and the tonneau cover matches). And i think we will put wood grain moldings on it instead of the original black ones. So, what do you guys think? Does the project sound like it wil be cool and that we made out alright in buying the trucks? I will keep you guys posted as time progresses.
