New guy from Las Vegas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hows it going guys, my name is Kyle and I live in Las Vegas, Nv. Ive checked in on this site for awhile but just recently created a profile. I bought a 79 c10 from Oregon (my home state) and had it shipped to Vegas. I literally just drove it off the transport and washed it. The truck used to belong to a member on here (cl79c10) but I bought it from the guy he traded it to. Its a little dirtier then when he had it and it doesnt have the 22s on it anymore either. Im picking up some 20s and spindles for it here in the next day or 2. It needs a little love and a few things fixed but nothing I cant handle. Its not bad for the price I paid plus shipping im still under 3k! Also the 305 that was in it was yanked for a 350 with around 15k miles. Anyway on to the pics!

Thanks for the compliments guys! The truck has a flip kit with a 2in. block and the front has hacked coils with stock spindles. Im buying some Belltech springs and spindles here soon. Plans were for some 20s but stuff came up and I just slapped some tires on it for the time being. I did however pick up some big 5 slot ralley wheels with some repop caps. The guy said they were 8's and 10's, they look more like 10's and 12's!

appreciate you sharing...truck looks suhweeeet as it sits! i like the old rallies/hot rod style setup you've got going better than 20's but hey, just my opinion! any bumping issues in the back with no c-notch?

kmfb · 10-07-2011, 02:54 PM

It actually has a welded in c-notch and I have never bottomed out. I also haven't hauled anything in it yet either! The rallys need some new paint but I can't decide to keep them white or paint them black. Decisions decisions
