1972...ish C10 - Finishing What They Started

[ClassicIron]

My brother and I worked on some quick appearance changes while our dad worked on getting the engine ready to fire. We traded a different set of wheels for these deep dish rallies which I painted a dark gray. What I am realizing today as I go through old pictures is that the truck had silver front trim when we bought it which looked to be original. It had some dents so we sold it and bought nicer trim to paint gray like the wheels, but I am curious if we unknowingly passed up some rare pieces? I know the 67-68 had quite a few different grill color combos, some with an argent silver trim? Hard to say now not having them in hand.

We reinstalled some of the parts we found sitting in boxes and made a run to the local parts store for what other missing parts we needed for the initial start up (fuel filter, air cleaner filter, breather, carb rebuild kit). We found a nice used fuel tank and used a borescope to ensure the inside was clean. After some spark problems, we ended up with a new distributor, coil, and plug wires as well but then it started and idled smooth. The dual cherry bomb glasspacks on the other hand were not as smooth
