C10 on Powerblock TV
Anyone watch Powerblock on Spike this morning. They've got a new project truck; 1971 C-10 Cheyenne w/ 454. If you've missed it, I believe its schedule again for tomorrow at 10am. Here's a link for the schedules

Re: C10 on Powerblock TV
Damn, I was hoping this was an announcement for the next episode. I got excited when I saw the first one and hadn't purchased mine yet. I bought my 71 within a month of the original air date and I've been (im)patiently waiting for the next episode ever since.

Re: C10 on Powerblock TV
They almost have too many projects to work on. They have rolling thunder, some yota 4x4, a newish GMC shortbed, AND the C10 now... oh yeah, and Super Dually isn't finished yet.

Re: C10 on Powerblock TV
Yeah, and Super Dually feels like it's been going for two years now... Maybe only one, but I know it's been a long time.

Re: C10 on Powerblock TV
Yeah, I also watched the episode (again) this weekend.
Can't you swap a 700-r4 in place of a turbo 400 just like a 200-4r is the same length as a turbo 350? that would be the first thing i would do. as for the engine....a Z06 427 would blow the doors off that 454 and might get 20+ mpg on the highway with the right gearing. i wasn't really thrilled with how they modernized class 6 when it was such a pristine survivor....hoping they keep all that factory bling intact on that C10 instead of the typical chop/drop and just upgrade the drivetrain like they mentioned. it is such a clean driver! |
