78 c10 stepside 6.5’ bed

That would be my grail squarebody. Year I graduated high school and went to work building those. Stepside puts the icing on the cake. I think you should sell for $1500.

Whatever you do, if it's decent and unmolested, don't post any pics here. It took me about 6 months to talk myself out of getting one!

Oh it’s “molested”. I had to put all new wiring in it nose to tail, the sm465 came out for a tko-600, the 12-bolt with 4.10’s got a lunchbox locker, the engine was built off of a 95 block and aluminum heads. The roller cam is decent sized without being silly. There’s a 650 dp with electric choke sitting on top.

Did you C-notch it or was it already done when you got it?

If I remember correctly it runs like a scalded dog.

I did all the things listed. There’s still factory paint inside the frame rails under the cab. I felt guilty cutting the frame but those are so wet noodle to start with I wasn’t that sad

Whew! That was a close one. Knowing that it would be way out of my budget is very helpful. But man, that is one nice truck! You did all the work plus a bunch already!

It still needs the rear suspension done. The old leafs are toast. It needs the interior done, bidy panels fitted and repainted

I kept the mechanical clutch as well. I fell in love with the feel after decades of hydraulic clutches.

Got the radiator in the GN. I have a small leak in the bottom transmission line. Dang that's going to be tough to fix without pulling the radiator. I've decided to wait until weekend to give that one a tackle. I hope my fat fingers can get to it without basically starting over.
By the way Zilla, I do like the C10. Nice job.

Amazing cars but JJ may be the most annoying man on the planet, and I hate all of the network drama garbage.

I agree about the drama. But, if everyone went out there and raced without any drama it would really be boring for tv.
JJ can be rough around the edges but he is a showman and he puts ona show. There are some others associated with SO's shows that I think have been much worse than JJ.
