Blake's long & low 66 resto-mod

[Blake985]

Hi everyone, I just bought a 66 C10 lwb fleetside. The factory engine & trans are long gone replaced with a 5.0 305 & 700R by some previous owner. The motor (which I was told was a 350) was missing a couple freeze plugs and the tranny was slipping bad in reverse (not sure about forward).

So when I got it home I ended up pulling the motor and trans. Started tearing down the motor for inspection. The rotating assembly looked good to me so I decided to put her back together with new gaskets & seals and a few cheap dress up items.

I could tell there had been some shotty body work done on the passenger side rocker and the back corner of each door. I dug into it a little and sure enough rotten rocker and holes in each door.

Welcome.
Nice repair work.
Any future plans?

Thanks. As of now the plans are to swap the 700r out for a nv3500 5 speed and replace the rats nest for some good wiring. I started stripping out the interior today, it looks like the interior was painted with a brush or roller. Getting all that out and cleaned up for new paint, carpet etc....
