New to me 81 C10
« on: October 10, 2021, 01:35:12 PM »
Hey everybody, I had been looking for a solid squarebody but here central Texas they are crazy expensive and most that are for sale are rust buckets, and i already have a few rust bucket projects so after looking and looking i got a solid survivor truck from the high desert

So far the plan is to keep the exterior patina, just clear coat it with rattle can, fix up the interior, find a bench with head rests, lower it a bit, put some wide steelies, put fuel injection and over drive in it and call it good

Thanks!
