1970 C10 Project - HSH

[HSH]

A little history about my 70 C10 SWB - I've owned it for 17 years. I traded a different truck I had at the time straight up for it. The PO did a frame-off about 20 years ago. This used to be my daily driver in a previous life but now I haven't driven it a total of 1000 miles in the last 10 years. My wife, who kept me from selling the truck on numerous occasions over the years although we could have certainly used the proceeds, suggested we rebuild it. I'm hoping it will be good time for me, my wife and our two daughters.

Following are a few of the planned upgrades. Any suggestions and comments welcome.

static 4/6 drop
box in frame
9" rearend
triangulated 4-link
4 wheel disk
front tubular strong arms
rack and pinion
coil overs on all 4 corners
~19" wheels
buckets with console
gas tank relocate
bump motor up a notch - already around ~300hp, like to take it to 400hp
hopefully a very clean engine bay/firewall area
shaved markers, drip rail and handles
etc...
