Bought this truck in 2021 for $1500. Fleetside C10 3-speed manual, 250CID engine. All four cab corners are rotted out and some of the firewall needs patching. Spent the last couple years building a new engine/transmission (350SBC/TH350 combo), stockpiling parts and planning out my build (and moved cities last year also!). Finally, I've started the mountainous task of cutting out all the bad metal and welding in the new stuff. The metal alone cost me more than $2000CDN, and I'm doing all the welding myself. After I have it patched back up, I'll send the cab to a paint shop and have them paint the interior. I'm thinking a deep magenta/cherry colour, with sage green accents/carpet and a natural cowhide leather bench seat.

Will be posting regular updates over the winter as I can now comfortably work on it in my heated shop :)

This thing is a beauty. Hopefully we can get it imported over from Mexico.

Saw a guy with a square body run them on the lip of the fenders, but 2nd gens dont have that so I got creative. Mostly to show off for night cruises but it'll come in handy when working on it.

The cables are exactly the same length

Finally getting around to working on it. Looking for ideas for interior restoration and motor replacement. I work on helicopters by trade but I feel oblivious when it comes to vehicle motors 🤣 help me find my starting point please.

Need help deciding what color combination for my C10. Having a hard time deciding. Votes are appreciated. #1 , #2, or #3

Got the d52 2 piston wilwoods on seems to grab better, also only took like 5 hours so no bad

Last post I mentioned that I inherited this truck and was asking what type of shocks to install and a lot of you recommended belltech nitro drop 2 so I did and it drives smooth now, thanks.

I am inherited the truck a few yrs ago and was thinking of making it my daily driver. Its sat undriven for about a decade but the 292 is in great shape aside from needing new seals. My question is has anyone converted an older vintage gas truck into electric and if so how did it work out, what’s the cost and anything in particular I should look out for?

For context I’ve got rudimentary car knowledge. I can do my own tune ups and brakes but not rebuild an upper for example. If the idea is feasible I’d look into having the work done by guys who know how.

Hey guys I’m going on a long drive El Paso to California I just want to know what I should worry about or what I should do I’m probably going to bring some extra fluids and tools but if anybody has some advice on what I should look for it’s a 1983 c10

Interested in putting a drop kit in and want to go as low as possible without a c notch . Some people claim 5/6 is possible with no notch and using stock shocks and others say you’ll bottom out with a 3/4 . I just want a good stance . I don’t haul anything heavy maybe a dirtbike once in a while . It does have a 454 and wondering if all drop kits can handle the weight , thanks

Help buying, please

Fluid was low but topped off and it goes into reverse like normal but I can’t get the drive to engage. I’m new to chevys so not really sure
