NEW NEXT LEVEL STOPPING APPARATUS INSTALL ON POST 31&32


What I have here is a 63 C10 with a 350sbc, saginaw 4 speed, short wheel base, fleetside. the truck was purchased in Lenexa,KS last October and i have loved every second in it. My wife found the truck online while i was trying to sell my 08 Subaru STi and looking at an 06 G35 Coupe. She thought it would be nice to have a family project that we can all get involved in. What a great woman. We sold the STI bought the C10 and drove it home that day!

Wheels (if i have enough $$ left over from above purchases) i have 2 in mind 1st choice is the KMC BRODIE/2nd KMC SLIDE (black)
(later down the road)
Seats- i found a nice 40-20-40 set up http://www.discountvantruck.com/truc...seatsLotus.htm
In bed fuel tank
Window Tint
Decent stereo nothing too over the edge or flashy
Paint- here's the problem my wife and i have different tastes in paint for this one. she wants an all flat black look (which i like but it is a little too common) i want a nice 2 tone (colors undecided thininking a copperish color on black (gloss or flat)
Updated wiring- unsure which brand to go with
Engine- probably a built 350
Trans- unsure- i like the ease or crusing in an auto, but nothing beats the feeling of shifting gears

here's the "old" car i sold for the C10
