New guy 1970 C10 project!

[NJC10]

I'm new to the site and wanted to share my new project truck! I own a scrap yard and this came in a few months ago. I put it aside and started collecting parts. Now, I have everything I need to start the build. It's a 1970 C10 2wd fleetside short bed.

The Plan:

Built 355 sbc 4 bolt main 9.5:1, World heads, Lunati cam, edelbrock intake and carb. GM 200r4 trans, with 2000prm lock up converter.

CPP Grand Slam kit, front and rear sway bars, and 5 lug conversion. Maybe a set of 15x8 Basset Nascar wheels, or 5x5 Blazer wheels with hub caps?

I have all the sheet metal for the nose, and a nice bench seat. The frame and cab are in great shape. Going to pull the nose off, paint the frame, and undercoat the body and bed. Put my motor and trans combo in. Do the suspension and brakes. Put a posi in when I do the 5 lug conversion.

Here are some pics of the truck as I got it!!!
