71 Stepside Project Build

[Rexmont71Stepside]

Been a member for a while checking out everyone's rides I thought it's about time I share mine. Here are some pictures of my 71 stepside short bed, all original except engine, trans and rear. Originally, it was a straight 6 with 3 on the tree. The 700R4 transmission was rebuilt before I bought the truck in 2010, I added at torque converter when the engine was rebuilt. The engine is a 350 and was professionally rebuilt in 2019. It's bored 30 over, aluminum heads, Holley 650 double pumper. Single wire alternator and we hid the underhood wires. I'm rebuilding it from the inside out, so the drive train is solid. I wasn't going to do much with the exterior except fix any rust, no paint job. The interior needs some work but it's not in bad condition. I included a few pictures for show and tell.
