Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Well she is all finished up for the time being time to start driving it and breaking the motor in. Right now I am just thinking what wheels to choose which I will make a descision soon I hope.
Things to do: Wheels and tires Back to the body shop to repaint doors, fenders and bed Do a mild stereo Well here she is all cleaned up and ready to drive it home. The drive home was beyond words every lite people admiring, thumbs up it drove awesome and I could actually see the gas needle go down as I pressed the accelerator...

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I drove the truck out last night with my daughter for an ice cream run. This morning I pulled it out and brought it to the shop so I can do an oil change and check all the fluids....What a great drive to work today sunny mid 70's and not a cloud in the sky....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Since I am still waiting for my wheels which will hopefully be here by Wednesday I decided to do something to sylvester while he sits there shoeless.
So I said forget about it and did it. Yes boys and girls I decided to cut the dash and put a modern CD player. I had a bad experience with those two knob retro radios when I put one in my 65 elcamino that crap did not work for maybe about three months then It stopped. I had an extra brand new radio from another project so since my truck is far from original I cut it and I am proud to say that it came out as perfect as you can get it.... Flame away boys....
