What's up fellas.
I just purchased a 1973 chevy c10 long bed and I can't wait to dig into her and learn about these awesome trucks.
Don't have much history on her. But I plan to build one.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/29/anebu3ej.jpg)
She came with a 350 and a th350 tranny.
Eddlebrock 4bbl carb
Hooker headers
Flow master exhaust
Msd ignition
And
Leaky tranny pan
Bouncy needles
Squeaky brakes
No heater
Blinkers don't work
And I'm sure a bucket list of other problems..but she ha a clean body, just a few holes in doors, and some weird work on the roof..looks like poor bondo job.
Anyway..looking forward to picking some brains and reading about your builds and repairs.

Welcome from Ohio! A 73 was my first truck. It was my Grandad's. Are those mirrors original? I know they are Chevy, but somehow it seems like there was an easrlier version.

They are not factory..I was gonna put the originals on..just kinda small.
Previous owner did that mod.
Gonna have to fix the original holes or the new holes for the current mirrors..
We will see when I get there..working mechanical issues for now.
