Project Nephew--71 4x4
My nephew, Austin, came to me the other day and asked if I would help him build a truck. I was floored and honored! I didn't think he was interested in my old trucks, much less want one of his own! He will be 15 in March.
I talked to my brother and he gave me the ok to buy a 1971 chevrolet c-10 4x4. It is the yellow long bed stepside that is in the for sale section. I just picked it up today. Austin hasn't seen it yet! It drives good. The PO got it in a trade and only put about 150 miles on it in a couple of years. It didn't idle very good, but I found out why---there was no pcv valve--just the hose sticking in the valve cover hole! Fixed that already and she idles great. I'm going to let him drive it around the ranch for a while and let him figure out what he wants to do with it. I'm just glad he is interested--most kids these days won't give these old trucks a second look. I will get him subscribed to the site so he can do a little surfing and maybe decide how far he wants to take the truck. I'm having trouble posting pics---new camera! I will get this figured out and post some--otherwise you can look in the for sale section. OK--got one loaded through photobucket! Thanks John
