My '71 C20 build.

[hotrod100]

Well I've had my truck for a year now so I figured I would put together a thread on what I've done to it so far.


Here it is on the day I brought it home. It was in decent shape with only a couple of small dents and a small amount of rust. (Gotta love those Dumbo ear mirrors!)



The first thing to do was the engine. It's a 350, 10 to 1 with a .488 cam, Edelbrock intake, headers, billet HEI and some other goodies.



Started tearing it apart and stripping it down. Fortunately I didn't find any surprises under the paint. I couldn't believe how much that rear step bumper weighed!



As you can see, each door had numerous holes in them from all the different mirrors this truck has had on it over the previous 39 years. I welded up all the holes in the doors as well as the holes where the trim had been mounted.
