Mikes in memory of build

[sgtvanmp]

Hey all, I have been wanting to start a build for a long while. I picked up a 1976 C10 from my wifes step dad. Its a long bed with the original 350/350 combo. I wanted to start this project in memory of my grand dad. He had an old Chevy C20 when I was a kid and we had planned on building it togeather. He died of Cancer and I never got the chance. I am building this truck in memory of Him, Gene McArther.

I have been wrenching on it for a few months now. So far I have done the following: Put in a windshield, took off the old rusted out muffler and bolted on a cherry bomb, Just put a water pump in it two weeks ago, did I mention I put a radiator in the weekend before that. Yeah, not happy to have to redo that. I habe put in newer plugs, cap and rotor, and just yesterday I did a tranny pan seal and fluid change. Let me know if you have any suggestion on where to go next. I am looking at doing an intake and carb swap. I also want to do headers at some point. Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
