Morning

I am new to the site.
Bought a 1971 C10 in 2022, fleetside 350 with TH350. Broke down 4 times getting her from San Jose to Pleasanton CA on a 105 degree day. Ending up on tow truck. Should not have filled the tank before starting the drive! Stirred up a lot of ancient debris.....start of an ongoing learning process.
Been working on her ever since: pulled the engine and tranny. Replaced motor with custom rebuilt unit. Had the transmission rebuilt, posi track, new brakes, Conceptone pulley system, vintage air, new carpet and seals, aluminum radiator with twin electric fans. Rebuilt driveshaft.
This vehicle was built in the same plant as my wife's Tesla.....Fremont, CA.
This is my first effort in these old trucks. Great learning experience! And now she is pretty quick and reliable too!!
