Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Dropped the truck off Mid August of 2021 and planning to pick it up January 2022. The quality of work that Roy and his guys do is completely worth the 6 months. Granted I had the body work pretty close to sand and shoot by August so I am sure his turn around time fluctuates with the amount of work needed.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Man this thing is killer! Reminds me a lot of my orange truck that I built in high school and college. Enjoy these moments with your pops man, looking back that was my favorite part

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Np, you have a great looking truck! I was in near your parts of Texas a few weeks back buying/picking up a Rear Slider off a Craigslist seller (Katy) :-)

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Brought the truck back this weekend and started wiring it up! Been using a painless wiring harness and its been pretty straight forward. Accomplishing a lot of little tasks like putting in the windshield wiper motors, the wiper assembly, and the trash guards. Installed the AC under the dash, and started on the inner fenders. The inner fenders are going to be tough, the fitment between my repop fenders and the stock inner fenders is a little tough.

Yeah I belevie that it was just the different layers of plastic that was on it in the paint booth. It would be an interesting hood stripe if I had actually had it painted on there lol. |

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Here's a link to a video of there truck on the Dyno. The engine was wired and tuned by Casey at Mail Order Tuner over in Temple, Tx. Casey and his guys have done a phenomenal job, they got to work quickly and had expertise that was priceless. Casey is great at communication, which is important to a gear head like me probing for updates almost weekly. Truck made 465HP to the wheels. I have seriously been debating setting the sweet sweet sound of my LS at 5,500rmp as my morning alarm.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Been doing a lot of finishing of the truck recently. Relocated the computer to under the dash, finishing the wiring, and put the doors together. Lots has been going on.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Pictures of the mirrors I installed. It was pretty nerve racking to drill holes through such a perfectly painted door.
