Hello all,

This is my 1970 SWB C-10.

Here is a current list of mods to the truck:
5.3LS motor
700R4 trans by Steve @ SW Performance transmission
2002 Camaro electric fans
Hydro-boost
disk brakes up front
bags
dual viair compressors
5 gallon air tank
line-x everywhere

Next on the list:
Suspension stuff
wheels & tires

I use this truck as a daily driver. The 5.3LS motor is the BEST upgrade that I have made to this truck.

Stay tuned for future updates.

Looks like you got a good body to start with. I have a 68. I love the 67-72 body style. What size wheels do you plan on running?

I will run 20" rims on all four corners. I hopefully can fit 275/40/20 all around.

Scott,

If you got/built your son a 67-72 C-10, you would be one of the coolest dads. :thumbsup:

I will have more progress in the coming weeks.

Bags are now on 4 corners. Waiting for axles and drop spindles.

Thats the one thing I wish I would had done when I built my truck in 08....Doing an LS convertion so it would be more economical.....

Nice truck. Another fan of the 67-72 C10 right here, particularly the 68 but I wouldn't complain too much if I owned a decent one in ANY year of that range.

Post some more pics of the truck and the progress.

I forgot to add progress pics to the thread.

I heard Ridetech is building a coil-over setup for these trucks very soon...i would love to get my hands on that setup :thumbsup:

The 3.42 gears are now in. Wow, those gears really make this truck 1000 times better to drive! No pictures to show this time.
