I want to drive my 78 chevy k10 small block 400/ 350 tranny from VA to NY & back

Okay so question is I just bought my 78 chevy k10 and it is in very solid shape. Let me list what has recently been done. All body work done last year. New starter. new carberator.  All new front brakes all the way through rotors calipers and pads. Recent oil change and coolant drained and refilled. Differential fluid changed front and back. New spark plugs. Question is what should i be worried about as far as something happening to it on the ride. What are some concerns? Anything helps. Thanks.

Sounds like a solid truck. Keep an eye on the fluids.

You may think about keeping a couple extra fuel filters.

A couple of years ago my oldest son bought a '79 GMC. The fuel tanks were so full of crud he would have to change the filter as often as every 100 miles. Not that uncommon of a problem on an old vehicle.

     So very true.  A couple of years ago, I bought a 74 k10 for a parts truck for the one I am rebuilding.  She was in no way solid, but I needed to drive from California to Idaho and tow back a boat.
     I did a tune up, checked everything over and fixed what I thought would not make it and away I went.  Only problem she gave me was as Engineer said, I ended up replacing the fuel filter for the first 3 fill ups because they were getting plugged, after the 4th filter, it was good to go.

Drive through a carwash with a good undercarriage spray when you get home!

It never hurts to carry an extra set of v-belts behind the seat.

I drove my 78 C25 towing my 2000 kia sophia behind it from west Virginia to CT with no problem. and I done all the same stuff (save body work). it too forever! but it made it. $349 in gas one way sucked though (only cost $40 in my kia! lol) just take your time and watch everything.

Thanks so much for the advice. I'll be sure to stack up on for or five of them and change them out every fill up just in case as they are fairly inexpensive. Maybe running some Marvel Mystery Oil through each fill up wouldn't be a bad idea either?
