And it begins....Here is my starting point

Wow, thanks for the welcome guys! I'm hooked on this site. I couldn't sleep last night so I was reading about disk brake swaps at 3:30am!!?? (Well that did the job, out cold after 15 mins...)

Just checking this thread again and I can give you a few updates.

Joe67 - Grimsby, ON is about 4 hours from the Detroit, MI boarder.
Cutter61 - St. Catharines (The Garden City) my home town. I will need some new parts soon. Need to find a good wrecker in the Region.
69Hafton - I think I will do the HEI upgrade, thanks.

Safety Inspection
Needs very little. I have a great mechanic who isn't going to snag a whole lot of little things and let me do the work as he knows a lot of things are going to change.

Next steps in order of priority:
1) Get the engine running smooth. The choke is not working on the carb, and there are some driveabilty issues with the fuel (carb) and timing/ignition. I'd hate to stall her out in the middle of an intersection. I think I'll do the HEI upgrade as it not going to cost too much.
2) BRAKES (you'd think this would be first right?) The Master cly has a small[/SIZE] leak so I'll need to replace that, but it does stop the truck nicely. I'd like to do the front disk brake conversion, so now is the time for that. I'd like to do the full changover from a donor truck.

I have a 1970 C10 2wd.....is there a perfered year I should be looking for for in a donor truck??? (71/72 in my area I'd think would be hard to find and likely expensive)

Again, thanks.
