Rusty 65 c10 LS build

[juanhonglo]

I bought this truck in 02 when I was 18. It was worn out then but I didn't care it was cool. Little did I know the PO was not kind to it. Originally I6 with 3 on the tree as I can best tell it had a 350 2bbl and 700R4. The motor started spewing smoke outta the valve cover breather so I picked up a hot roded motor from a guy at work. 6 months later pump gear blows on the tyranny repair shop calls shift kit installed wrong and no TV cable hoked up. So got all fixed and on my way, a year later my dad passes away and on the same day the motor went. So I had to park it and take care of my family. So there it sat for a year met my wife and her dad help out building up a new motor. Once again she was on the road as my only vehicle..... not good in the Texas heat and a baby so it sat again as I was able to get another car. Ended up selling motor to her dad and parked it again. Now after 5 years my mom gave me the house when she went to care for my grandpa and got his house, my sister moved out for school now the father son truck can now be the father and two sons project. This will be a long project due to the two sons age 3 and 7 but no rush I want to do so much to this truck I gotta take my time.

Im still not 100% sure how I will build it but I will go LS, possibly a 5.3 6.0 seems to much as one day I hope to see the boys drive it plus gas prices and mpg are kind of an issue to. I have looked at lots of other trucks on this site and it always makes me want to do something to the truck. I have learned so much from this site and all the members and hope to learn more along the way.
