Hi all,
My name's Brian. I've been bouncing around the world with the Navy for the last 12 years or so, and I've had my 64 C10 Fleetside since ~1994 I guess. Been beating it up as a work truck until about two years ago, and finally put her down for a refresh. Pulled the 283/4spd out, and dropped a .060 over 4-bolt 350 in, backed by a 700R4. Ultimately, I'll probably go through the 283, warm it up a bit, and add a Gear Vendors unit behind the 4 speed, but for now it runs strong and looks good although I really kinda miss the, ahem, "patina" she had before.
Still in the garage and awaiting a free weekend is a full front/rear disc swap, 2 1/2" drop spindles, 2" front and 4" rear coils to get her down to earth a bit. (around 4" all the way around in the end) Also waiting for my hitch reciever to arrive since I lost the ugly, but useable, diamond plated bumper mount I had prior to resto. Glad to be here!
