This truck was purchased for this style build/design. The C10 was originally red/orange/swb stepside/v8/3spd column shift from vin research. The swb truck when purchased had a straight body with minimal rust. hite (older) paint job. 50/350 engine/trans. anded interior/5 lug conversion/auto trans steering column. Engine/trans pulled/sold.

The TH400 was purchased from a local car builder out of a 1969 396 Chevelle. rebuilt by Kuston Built Transmissions. Denison. x. Stepside bed replaced with fleetside bed which was a long fleet bed shortened to short fleet. All the short fleetside beds we found were in unsatisfactory condition . We found 2 long fleetside beds. 1st one nice. nd nicer condition. t was chosen using correct procedure to shorten. Inside bed prepped/primed. ed floor was prepped/coated with 2 coats of POR15/black. Body/int was sanded/prepped/primed with a yellow primer. ab white primer. We use a process on the primer to give the effect of a faded paint job. Alot of people think it's paint. The primer used is compatible with all laquers/urethanes/primers. Custom painted door logo(my style). Stock new coils front/back with CPP 1. 5 lowering blocks/u-bolts in back. New int/orig bench seat. nt is simple/clean/plain. The molding/wheels/hub caps designed to give a simple clean look. nd BFG radial TA's to complete the truck. Below is a list of facts/figures on this build. This truck rides/feels/sounds/steers/stops like a 68 C10. not a car. Fresh alignment and manual discs up front with the CPP sway bar kit performs nice. This little thumper is reminiscent of the 70's hot rod trucks running around our town at that time. Our builds are unique from the bling or skeletons/spiders/flat black paint. I do like rat rods but this is not one. This is a custom shop truck/muscle truck. The truck is a blast to drive and sounds vintage. You can cruise or. scat. The truck is very powerful. Alot of questions/looks/thumbs up/seniors interest. urprise when the hood is lifted. The initial plan was to plate the bed floor with 3/16 for weight/better traction. ecision was to leave it stock for now. to much fun to drive. You can break the tires loose at will. his little truck moves out strong. ull's hard. he's QUICK. The tach reads around 3000 at 70mph which is why the 3. 08 limited slip was chosen with the 3 spd TH400. The truck has been "babied" during break-in period. The cam choice was kept mild creating hp but smooth idle along with the new Holley she feels good. You can hear the Comp cam with very little vibration. With the glasspacks it has that BBC sound. risp but not too loud. This was built to be a driver/weekender. This truck has less than 1000 miles and driven around town and a couple highway trips. tays inside a shop when not driven. No rain/snow/mud has touched her. This truck needs nothing unless desire to take to another level or add to it. Frame off build. Many hours in this truck. Clean/plain/reliable/quick. our style. our build. next build coming soon.
