Back in the Saddle !
im gettin my truck back in the saddle I have ALOT of work to do. I Finally Got my 71 custom 10 back from my parents got it hauled to my house. As most of yall may know im a Sophmore in high school so i dont have alot of time to work on it but i have more time then most in fact Ill Work on this almost everyday as much as i can. As of right now im 650$ into it which is just the price of the truck. It would be more but i sorta caught it on fire yesterday an fried my wiring harness. so i got it a little cheaper haha I dont have big plans for it right now i kinda want to do a resto mod But im a poor kid soo im just gonna stick to trying to keep it original and try to make it a complete truck its missing a few things here an there but my main goal is to get it started an running before i do anything else.
Factory set up acorrding to the spid 350 v8/tbh350 heavy duty rear springs paint stripe Dark and med blue ( Thought it was a weird combo)

Re: Back in the Saddle !
Congrats geting your hands back on it. Definitely got a little work ahead of you.You dont have to go back original especially if you need to repair it on a budget. I would say pick out a solid color you like and shoot that color inside and out. You already have most of it apart on the inside. Keep us up on your progress and dont be afraid to ask questions.
