Budget Upgrade/Build on a 1966 C10 $900 budget
Hello, I just sold a newer car with plans on making my 66 c10 a daily driver.
What's my budget? $900 in (Southern California) Things I would like to accomplish: 1-Engine: inline 6 that ran - on stand (not sure of displacement yet, until I pull the spark plugs.) *find a used or affordable radiator & hoses & install *Replace the valvue cover gasket *Replace the oil pan gasket & freeze plugs? *Replace spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor, and points *Replace the water pump *Replace the alternator *Oil change, oil filter, fuel filter *replace intake and 1 barrel carb for a 4 barrel setup 2-Transmission: 2004r or 700r4 (probably 2004r so I don't have to shorten the first drive shaft) *Pull a tranny from the junk yard *Rebuild it if not very expensive for a kit. *Install with engine in more forward mounting position if needed to save on drive shaft rework cost. 3-Brakes - Upgrade to power w/ dual reservoir front disk *Locate dual reservoir, brake booster, & brake lines at good price & install *get disk brake setup from a later model vehicle that can bolt right in & install w/ minkmal fab 4-Rewire myself 5-Get windows functioning (glass fell out of place on both sides) -----Perhaps postpone this a little if over budget----- 5-Gas tank relocation *Find a later model tank to fit between the frame rails somewhere Or make or have a custol tank made 6-Power Steering upgrade. Thank you for reading all that, any and all help is appreciated! Oh, and I hope to document it all on my 60-66 C10 page on facebook!
