We found this truck in field in the desert here in California it was a long bed and 95% rust free so we thought it was definitely worth saving! This shot is after we shortened it.Name:  image.jpg

Re: 67c10build

So is the blue tint the finished color, nice price for trans and engine, trans is worth more as a rebuilt alone.

Re: 67c10build

Ya that's the finish color it looks really good in person! And your right the 4L80's aren't cheap. I was in the right place right time!

Re: 67c10build

Thanks on the 68, so with the 67 going to plate the firewall heater box assy or have heat, how about ac, something we don't consider much up here with like 2 weeks to actually use it but must be a staple in your heat wave state.

Re: 67c10build

I'm going to install a Vintage air I have it I'll put it in when I pull the cab for paint! The temp here in San Diego averages 75 but Aug & Sept can get hot.
