Re: SoCal checkin' in
Another San Diego Native checking in...I have a '61 and Im about to update the front end on it, with a '73 front and rear.
Can Anyone give any pointers, I've already read a lot of threads about it but some "local" help would be nice.... Gracias, Roberto |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
So your going with the 73 front disc brake set up. And the 73 rear for the 5 lug setup? I have a 69 and I think our trucks share the same rearend. I just changed my axles to 5 lug that was it. Would not have changed, but I had some 5 lug rallyes. Do you have a doner truck?

Re: SoCal checkin' in
I have a 72 C20 Deluxe. All original except rims. I got it with 17" American Racing wheels on it. 350/350 just had the engine redone, nothing fancy just want it to last me a few more years until I figure out what I want to do with it. The only thing that upsets me is some idiot cut out the stereo and did a terrible job so I need to fix it some how or just clean it up. It is a long bed with the extra storage box built into bed but not sure what kind of lock it takes. It came with a tool box and it has an actual Rhino lining. I traded my 2001 supercharged Xterra for the truck plus $800. My wife seems to like it and my two year old loves it, it will be hers someday since I sold her 1970 nova. =( Oh, it has headers which I want to get rid of and put back on stock manifolds. That's in in a nut shell.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
VDOG,
Nice to hear from someone close, at least only 2 hours away....I just made a deal to buy the rolling chassis from the guy.... He still has a bed, cab, front clip and two sets of doors for the '73 c10.. I was going to use the frame but Im prolly gonna junk it, too many what ifs with putting my '61 on a '73 frame not to mention the labor and cost lol... Look on San Diego craigslist with the title 1973 c10, its a black truck... el_bole |

Theres also a San Diego Post, but I dont think the guys out there keep it up. Your idea of just using the parts is a good way to go instead of trying to drop your truck on the 73 frame. |
