Restoration Pic Thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lets try a restoration pic thread:
Show off pics of your restoration, whether it's an interior, under hood or complete truck... show it off.
This could be a good reference thread for those wanting to know "what did it look like from the factory".

Here is a couple pics of our start. This are old pics and we have made some changes to correct the incorrectness.

Just starting mine. Pulled the motor and found the problem. All the bearings in the lower end were shot. If you look close at the pic of the main bearing cap you can see it cracked all the way through.

Here are some pics of the interior when I got the truck. Im getting custom door panels and dash pad but they are not done yet. But here are a few pics of the new motor. Its a 355 with around 370hp.

Absolutely what I was referring to in starting this thread.
Time (and money) very well spent, phenomenal skills and attention to detail.

Old 307 with 3spd manual with zero options for comfort
406 with all the goodies, shaved firewall,a/c power steering

71c10bbsuper, that's a really faithful restoration. Congrats on toeing the line. The pics look like they could have been a 71 advertisement.

Wow - very nice! Love the "Invader 400" on the valve covers too - the details are awesome.

-sean- · 08-16-2011, 09:35 AM

These are motivating me to get into my engine compartment and getting to work on it.
