I picked up my c10 last year and just started the mods. So far in the last month I have installed DJM lca's,coils,rear flip,24"s,and 5% tint. I thing I'm going to swap the coils for spindles and put DJM uca's on it. Paint will get worked in but will probably be last (i love the patina on this thing!) and the interior will be upgraded when i weld the roll cage in. Would bag it but plans are ultimately to go FAAASSST. Putting together parts for a tt ls. I already have a th400 and I think my gearing is close. Nice to be on the site and I'm open to any and all suggestions.

The original owner bought it brand new in 1985. I found it sitting in his daughters yard a couple of houses away. He passed away almost 10 years ago and it sat in her yard untouched ever since. I brought it home, put a battery in it that she had and tried to fire it up but there wasn't any spark. It had a hole in the windshield where a green pine cone fell thru and as luck would have it, rain was getting on the spark controller under the dash. So after I bypassed it and poured some fuel in the carb it fired to life. I removed the brand new fuel tank that was in it (thank you sir) and flushed the fuel system. I replaced the rubber sections, new alternator, rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump, tune up, new wheel cylinders, added a set of rallys w/33s and 35s, and a new windshield in it that weekend. Been driving it every day since.
