Hey guys,
Just getting back into the American cars thing here and already seen there's a couple nice trucks from NZ on here already!!
At the moment I've got a stock standard 85 rhd lwb C10. As you can probably imagine finding good parts over here is hard and importing them is exspensive so it will be a slow build!
Factory 305 runs mint so will leave the engine for now, just looking at nice rims and a massive static drop. Pictures to come soon once I get it out of the shed.
Before the truck I had an 86 suburban with a 350 that me and my partner travelled the north island in, rebuilt a 67 vw beetle (always wanted one as a kid so finally got my ass around to buying one), a67 HR Holden and wifey had a WB Holden that she rebuilt the engine in and got me to paint.
Yes! My wife is a diesel mechanic. We are both in the NZ Airforce so we have some handy people in our work friends, from mechanics to painters to upholsterers' and welders.
Ill start a build thread for the truck once we actually get started on it and no doubt there will be a lot of questions on it from me picking your brains.
Cheers.
Andrew
