Been a long time since I've been on here but finally picked up a new project...1980 C10 stepside..doing a cammed 5.3 swap with a TH350... Ill try keep this updated as I go..

 

Looks like a '79 model front end to me?? 1980's had headlamp buckets that stuck out further- More flush to the actual grille surround. Hard to explain until you see one.....

Should be a great build coming though.... =)

 

Some '80s came with round lights

 

Should be fun when done. What kind of cam you looking at

 

awesome truck! how much do these go for over there and how rare are they?

 

73-87 you can get from $1-4k around here in texas. Depending on condition. Just may take time trying find a descent one

 

Not sure just yet...prob just gonna do a 220/220 cam from TSP for now...just gonna be get around truck...nothing too extreme...

I picked this one up for $1,000...wasn't running when I bought it...bought a new distributor, plugs and wires, and a new master cylinder for it and ran fine...my buddy picked up an 86 last year in running condition for about $1,200

 

Not much accomplished since I posted the first set of pictures...





Don't have a welder or much welding skills so doing my own AC delete...not the best looking but I think it's original...



Gonna try and save some money on wheels and paint the stockers for now...

 

yep, jealous! Awesome truck!

 

Thanks man..
