Re Restoration 71 C10

[cj847]

I guess I'll start a thread to document a few things and hopefully help some folks out.

Here is my recently purchased 71 C10. It looks great from 20'. But, I didn't want a show truck. As I document my work you will see little change in the looks.






History: This truck was built by some guy who got sick and died "when it was almost finished". It was built from parts off of several trucks he had. Then a guy bought it to "help the family out". The guy who bought it was not a mechanical guy, so every time something went wrong he had to pay to have it fixed, and was tired of it...lol. Anyway, we worked out a trade for a vehicle I had.

Specs: 350 crate engine that sounds good and is supposed to be low mileage; 350 automatic; tach dash; non tilt; PS, PB, non working factory air.
