Title: What's up guys
Post by: ThisisnotRusty on May 07, 2010, 08:22:26 pm

What's up ya'll, I'm a noob on this forum from Fort Worth. Just wanted to drop in and show you guys my truck. It's a 1978 C10 SWB.
It's been on the Daily Grind for about 2 years, i've been working on it when I can but I just finished my daily driver project(91 Honda CRX Si) and the truck gets attention now.
What i've done so far: Stock 305
-MSD 6al ignition w/external coil setup
-Ceramic coated Long tubes w/2.5" x-pipe and single chamber Flowmasters
-Performer RPM intake and cam kit w/gear drive.
-Holley 670cfm Street Avenger
-TCI 2400-2600 Stall converter, TCI shift kit, stock 3.08 gears

I've converted the front to a 91' Jimmy front clip

This is waht the interior looked like when I got the truck. Seats out of a misubishi, plywood and 2x4's holding them to the floor.

So I ripped out all that death trap, found black leather full power seats form a 1999 taurus and welded custom seat mounts.  (http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2342/seats3.jpg) (http://img40.imageshack.us/i/seats3.jpg/)

I like the way those black seats look in there.  Got any videos or a sound clip of the truck.  I bet it sounds good with the x and those flowmasters.
