71 C10 Deluxe "Ole Blue'

[dutchmanz]

I finally gave up on a 71 Chevelle project I bought on an impulse. Once I did, I jumped on a 71 C10 I had been eyeing on Craigslist. I originally wanted a shortbed but I plan to use this old girl and a long bed just makes more sense. The Blazer needed a sibling and this is it.

The truck is an original one owner truck. I bought it from the owners son. It is about as unmolested as I have seen. Factory jack and tools, glove box, factory paint, even the protecto plate and bill of sale still tucked in the owners packet.

The engine has been rebuilt with some nice HP parts and towing cam. The 350 trans is also freshly rebuilt with a TCI converter. The 12 bolt has factory 3.07 gears. It has a little rust in the usual places but its surprisingly solid. The patina is really cool and I'm sure I can bring back some shine. More info to come so time for some pics...
