This is more of a build thread but oh well. Picked this truck up in sore condition, no radiator, been parked since '09. Got it for a good price and made for a very promising project since I threw a rod bearing in my mazda. I Paid 700 for it and I've been eyeing this truck for years, so it seemed like a great deal since I had nothing to drive and I love old cars/trucks. The day after I bought it I found a 1964 327 that came out of another 65 C10 I picked up for $300, came with the engine stand, gotta love craigslist. New radiator was the first aswell as cleaning the fuel tank and running new fuel lines. New fuel lines came after then, then onto the brake overhaul. Old drums, cylinders, pads and brake lines were replaced along with master cylinder. Carburetor was rebuilt, and manifold leaks fixed. The engine is the original 230 C.I.D. straight 6 which leads to a up 2.5 foot glasspack. Its puts power down through a TH350 with a shift kit and behind that is a 12 bolt posi rear end with 3.73 gears (even the 6 can bark 2nd gear.) More pictures and updates to come.
