72 c-10 350/350 - the wylie new guy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wayfastwhitey · 04-01-2009, 10:33 PM

this is the 72 i just bought two nights ago for $275.
today i pulled the carb and the intake, both headers, drver side head and the a/c compressor. tomorrow hopefully i can get the other head off so i can replace the head gaskets and put it all back together and then put the new starter and alternator on it. there was a edelbrock performer intake on it but i have another edelbrock intake with c4b casted on the front and the flow characteristics look better so i may swap them out

wayfastwhitey · 04-01-2009, 10:35 PM

sorry about the bad pics, i will post more. i had to use my cell phone for these

Worse case, you can get it running and double your money.

LOW DOUGH · 04-01-2009, 11:41 PM

Take a pic of the SPID also and post it. Looks good

wayfastwhitey · 04-02-2009, 07:55 PM

american racing wheel set i got for FREE today for the 72

Grapdawg · 04-02-2009, 08:06 PM

Looks like ya got a heck of a deal. Wish the pics were alittle better. Wanna see how it really looks. But Nice Score.

big_al_71 · 04-02-2009, 09:06 PM

for the price you paid, it sounds like a great deal.

OARNGESI · 04-02-2009, 09:44 PM

I think you did pretty good even if it needs a motor

LOW DOUGH · 04-02-2009, 11:16 PM

man, I thought I was going to see more pics of the truck. Free wheels are the best wheels.

wayfastwhitey · 04-04-2009, 04:31 AM

so what would be the best way to clean gunk (no rust) off of the cylinder walls without removing the piston? the truck blew a head gasket and the guy who owned it died and his son inherited it and sold it and it has been sitting sence, i could break away some of the build up but not all of it, the piston is still clean after years antifreeze on it.

wayfastwhitey · 04-06-2009, 02:07 AM

here are some more pics, daytime light this time

LOW DOUGH · 04-06-2009, 10:18 AM

oh, wow that is prety messy. The truck looks good though. Maybe someone will chime in with an idea about the gunk.

TT

LOW DOUGH · 04-06-2009, 10:19 AM

We need to get that thing home. Hope the brakes work. Just thought about that. Did the guy say how long it has been sitting?

wayfastwhitey · 04-06-2009, 09:05 PM

he's had it for about six months, the fitting for the vacuum line in the brake booster is broke so if the brakes do work, it won't be power brakes. it's almost back together. i'll post pics after i figure out how to get them off this camera, i got a MUCH better pic of the spid. and some pics of a few things i REALLY don't like about the truck. hint :

LOW DOUGH · 04-07-2009, 09:34 AM

Hint? Do you not like the color??

my67chevytruck · 04-07-2009, 09:48 AM

nice looking truck.....if you dont like the tilt let me know......

LOW DOUGH · 04-07-2009, 10:09 AM

haha... the tilt. That's probably not it. I wounder. The only pics i see are the truck. So, you must not like it. I'll take it off your hands.

wayfastwhitey · 04-08-2009, 12:54 AM

rear view, bad cab corner, head casting and bad frame spot and bad badging. could someone please track down where these heads origionated from so i can find out if they are even stock?

wayfastwhitey · 04-08-2009, 12:58 AM

here's more
pic 1 voltage regulator?
pic 2 my dizzy i can no longer use because of pic 4

wayfastwhitey · 04-08-2009, 01:01 AM

pic one other half of spid.
pic two crushed corner.
pic three. local salvage yard. off topic i know, but what's wrong here?

lowbucktruck · 04-08-2009, 08:01 AM

Score on the C10! The creative Impala badge cracks me up.

Looks like the previous owner left you a nice little mess in the engine bay.

LOW DOUGH · 04-08-2009, 10:41 AM

I don't understand. why can't you use the dizzy?

The Impala badge is funny.

Oh, and the salvage yard Intallates motors.... or some thing. Not sure what you would do when you are intallating something. HAHAHA

wayfastwhitey · 04-08-2009, 03:13 PM

the number eight runner is really tall and i don't think i can drop the dizzy all the way down. not only that but now i also have to find a carb with the same bores as the intake. and the wiring is a complete mess, although the busted tail light atleast still works

not quite sure what to do, it's like playing with a bunch of

maddog1331 · 04-08-2009, 04:09 PM

lol the sign reads like instructions I get in chinese made stuff.....We Intallation? lol

wayfastwhitey · 04-08-2009, 04:33 PM
