1971 C-10 build Thread

[JCA1972]

I bought this 71 SWB C-10 about a year ago for $2500. The progress is slow but it's coming along. here are a few pics of what I've done so far, this truck has a 350 GM Goodwrench motor that is about 3 or 4 years old, it has a 3 speed on the tree that I want to replace with a 400 th or 350 th. Other than the front cab floor and the rockers this truck is solid, I drove it about 30 miles to get it home and it rode as smooth as my 02 Sierra, well almost. I will post pics as I get things done althou it will be slow do to kids,wife and work. Let me know what you guys think about it so far.
this is what it looked like when I brought it home, My wife thinks it's a piece of junk, I think it was a hell of a buy.

I replaced the bumper





Then I started digging
