Hey all, I just picked up my first C10 for $800. It's a 1981 Scottsdale 2wd 305 and th350. My goal is to do a frame off resto. I would have to upgrade the drivetrain, carb or upgrade to tbi? I could use all the info you can bring, a daily driver with at least 400 HP

Hi.
Couple questions..
How many jager bombs will be involved?
Do you have experience turning wrenches?
Better yet, 400 hp is a mighty fine number but it is directly dependent on a much different number...and i'm not talking about how much ability or tools you possess, the truck don't care.

How much money are you able to spend?

That will help us answer many questions you may want to ask. Pick a big number... 400 horsepower is an assload...i'm gonna go on a limb and say your only $10,000 from them pictures to go!

Welcome to the internet.

Hay. You know what's so funny about that number?

Now you are speaking my language about the sweet elixir that are Jagger bombs, so the answer would many! Yeah I have done construction my whole life up until now I work for a trucking company repairing trailers. I plan on this project taking years and over those years I plan on at least putting $15,000 into it.

Welcome from NC.

I too am building a hotrod truck, just not frame off, a ratty street rod with a big block.

Welcome from a fellow Hoosier! And congrats on the find. I'm still looking for mine.

Here's a couple of shots of the body. That silver tape is where I have the hole. And then you can kind of see on the passenger side bed where the guy hit it.

I've got most of the interior pulled out like the seat and most of the dash.

So I looked around the app. There are some listings but most are over 3 years old. I assume they don't delete postings. I couldn't find anything that was posted newer than 3 years ago.

I'll play around with it more when I have more time. Every place I can look, the better!
