Pics of my 71 progress
I have been slowly working on my 71 C20 for about 3 years now, and this site has been a life saver! I just wanted a good, old, solid work truck, not a show truck. My goal was to do all the work myself, and on a very small budget. All the rust was cut out, and metal replaced, all the weather seals were replaced, interior was freshened up, bed wood replaced, and I pulled the motor and went through it. I painted it with tractor enamel. I still have the tailgate left to do, as well as new exhaust, and a few other odds and ends. The truck had 79000 miles on it when I got it, and seemed pretty original.

Re: Pics of my 71 progress
Thanks guys. I don't think that I'm putting the molding back on, some was missing, and the rest was pretty beat. I took the first pictures when I brought the truck home. It was April 10 2009. I cant believe that I have had it that long!

Re: Pics of my 71 progress
Wow! What a transformation! It looks great. I really like your choice of rims. What are they? I like the white and black gauges too. Were the original equipment?

Re: Pics of my 71 progress
I just took the gauge cluster apart, and painted the tin white, the rims are ultra wheels, your basic modular wheel, like outlaw 2s.
