Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Sylvester's rebuild = worth every dime. Very nice before but stunning afterward. Why are you thinking about paint? It looks great to me Al.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I would not say that. I love that truck I wish I was made of money I would have never sold the black truck.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Hey Al is Sylvester sporting the rear bag top mounting hats or did you drill and mount the rear bags to the frame?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I love how Al calls this truck a bucket when it is easily one of the nicest trucks on this forum. Recent pics look awesome.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Al, I am assuming you have the 67-69 rear housing under it (?)

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Chad if I remember correctly he has the original wide 71 housing. I think his tires are really close to the fender lip but still work for him. I remember seeing pictures and discussions of it earlier in the thread.
