Need some advice on 71 C10
First of all if this is in the wrong section or the Mods need to remove this I understand, also a little bit of a long read so I apologize in advance.
Currently I am disabled due to a few autoimmune diseases, and lack the energy to really take care of this truck anymore. I also have a dilemma, my 71 c10 has a transmission problem; a few leaks ranging from the shift linkage, to the Speedo casing and real seal… just about everything is leaking except for the front seal. The cheapest estimate I got was just to rebuild the transmission at around $800 (with a mild shift kit included). I REALLY DO NOT want to get rid of this truck, but I think that I might end up having to bite the bullet I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I was thinking that if need be I sell my truck as is or do I spend the money to fix it up. In the long run I believe I might have to let it go eventually… So I was wondering what you think it is worth now versus how much it would be worth after fixing the problems. -Thanks in advance!! There are a few pros and cons with the truck…. •Rebuilt motor with around ~20,000 miles •Mild cam –(old school term 3/4 cam) •Edelbrock Intake •Edelbrock Thunder Series 1806 carb •2-inch drop spindles •Airbags on the rear •Long tube headers •Has A/C but compressor is not installed •Transmission leaks... •Carpet got wet so I had to remove it •Body molding removed but holes not patched •Has few surface rust issues but not cancerous rust ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() my attempt at customizing gauges ![]() ![]() Bucket seats out of mystery GM donor, though I know the color is Carmine ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Again sorry for being so long but wanted to be thorough. |
