1980 short box build

[blazinfab]

Hey guys first off id like to introduce myself since this is the first time posting online, I've been reading lots of other peoples builds. My name is Eric Johnson i live up in the great north! So i used to be into JDM/Drift cars before so i actually acquired this truck by trading a fully built Nissan Silvia, it was a straight across trade. I was actually looking for a 60-72 c10 but this just worked out so i went for it.

Now for some info on the truck, picked it up off a young guy that said it was family owned for last 20 years, it has a mild rebuild roller cam, some head work, bored .30 over, high rise intake, 750 carb and performance headers and exhaust. Not looking to do to much to the engine I'm still on the fence around finishing it and keeping it as a daily during the summer or if i should go full accuser/porterbuilt and bagger.

It already has been dropped 2.5" in the front on drop spindles and 3" shackles in the rear, 10 bolt posi 3:73 . Unfortunately only the rpm gauge works, guy claimed he didn't have time to finish wiring them in but i guess i will see when i take them all out, currently planning on getting the Autometer Cruiser style gauges, like the old school look of them. ( If anyone has used them, let me know how you liked them ).

Plan for right now is ; New gauges, get the bench re-upholstered and get the carpet redone properly. Not really a fan of how the interior is right now. Ill see where that takes me and ill probably make my decision after that on where i plan on going with the truck.

Cheers!!

Eric
