new here from south texas, not new to c10s. little back story on this truck. i used to own it as a 73 and unfortunately had to get rid of it. told the guy if he ever sold it to let me know. well he ended up taking it all apart to put everything as far as drivetrain goes into a qa1 frame he had. trucks old setup was a LS 5.3 with a LSA supercharger on it throwing 11lbs of boost and making about 520 to the wheels. Ended up getting the truck back (in a sense) with the 73 frame, bed, and the wheels. suspension consists of a ladder bar setup, and the front i had put all new ball joints, brakes etc before i got rid of it. in a way i got my truck back but with a 85 style front end which i always wanted anyhow. so it kinda worked out. This time im going old school with a 383 in it, th350 trans and out back is a 12 bolt with 410s. Engine does look a little dirty from sitting but all that is getting cleaned up for sure. have complete interior for it and majority of parts. just need time to get it done. i included some pics of how it currently sits and one of how i had it as a 73. big difference lol but gotta trust the process as they say!
