So, I found this pile of rust that included a 71 C10 LWB. Much like the 70 LWB I had 25 years ago as a kid.

500 bones, with an extra partially dismantled rusted small block (which was the original). Starts and runs great, the TH350 doesnt slip at all, and it is stable and smooth at 60 MPH. It just looks like a bag of 72 year old smashed ass.

The inner fender wells, core support, and frame (So far as I can tell) look pretty solid.

Heading to Vegas tomorrow and decided to take the trailer and see about a new cab, fenders and hood while I'm there.

I am aiming for this to be a daily driver in reliable condition within a few months. So I can work on my current daily driver more (the Jeep next to the truck). Eventually, it will have the brown (or goldish) and white two tone paint, an updated interior, AC and a good stereo system. but for now, it is a driveway (butt ugly) princess... My texas plates should be here in a couple weeks though!
