My Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

steve615 · 02-21-2010, 04:49 PM

I have owned my Grandfathers 71 C10 for about 6 years. I am just now starting the process of making this thing look and run good again. I just finished the engine build. New 350, Edelbrock 650 Carb, Edelbrock Performer Intake and Air Cleaner and Valve covers. Rally happy with the engine so far. The truck was really abused by my uncle and my cousin, so it is really important to me to it right now that I have it. Taking it to have all the body work and paint done this week and can't wait to get it back. Still trying to decide on what tires and wheels (Muscle Truck or Monster Truck look) and plan on putting in buckets with console. Here are some pics. I am always open to suggestions and any advice.
