Picked up an original'ish 1975 medium lime chevrolet c10 swb stepside cheyenne. It's a straight six 3 speed manual on the floor. It's got character. Rust, Dents, Scratches, Old wood in the bed, It tells a story... I don't want to make a show truck, let it keep rusting and get patina haha...My first mods will be a rack and pinion, and updated wilwood brakes.. From there I will redo all the factory bushings that are dry rotted and figure out if I want to do a 6.0LS 4L80E swap, leave it stock, or Lower it but leave it stock running gear. Overall this is one of my favorite factory colors ever made on any vehicle, which is why I purchased it.
Should I leave it stock guys?
Should I do a slow n low straight 6 build with a 5' spindle drop 7' notch over under in the back and leave it ratty?
Should I LS swap it?
I don't know how to do a poll but I am curious what you all think.
I look forward to getting to know all of you.
The shift linkage broke while driving it home first time on I5 and made me late for work lol. So I definitely want to not have it happen again. I am struggling to find very many 3 speed on the floor it appears they usually where 3 on the tree. So I wonder if this was a floor conversion or if they factory ordered it like that. What are your guys thoughts?
