'78 C10
       Has a what im told is a 252 straight six, thought it was a 292. Three speed which was originally on the tree, now on the floor. It's going to be either sold for a better driveable truck for me to get to work and whatnot, or a 350 and a 5 speed is going to get drooped in. |

Re: '78 C10
lol its pretty nice, but not a super straight truck. I'll have to get some daylight pics up and it does have fender rust, some cab corner rust, a comple dents, and some bed damage, yet overall not that bad. I'm really hoping my old man lets me drop in a slightly hot cammed 350 and a 5 speed in there, im learing the whole body work curve and going as I can. I got the truck in running driveable condition for 500 bucks.

Re: '78 C10
Well thats not to bad overall, that would be pretty sweet to have a hot 350 and a 5 speed. 6 would be even better though lol....Later....Mike

Re: '78 C10
I think that truck must have been the same color as mine at one point. It even has the same sagging passenger side windshield wiper.

Re: '78 C10
If you look at the area above the front bumper thats original and the engine bay thats the origial color. I wish the whole truck had that color in decent condition but I got it with mismatching doors and front fenders. The trucks a custom deluxe but I have scottsdale fenders, rest of the truck is matching as far as I know.
