picked up my new project...
just came back from picking up my new toy/project...
got it at a damn good deal that I couldnt refuse not to buy it, plus its been one of my wishes to get a classic one day...
its a 1968 c-10, it has a 454 bigblock with a 3 speed built tranny, dont know what the rear end has in it but its a 12-bolt with posi traction.... it will leave skid marks for 50ft or more!! and from a 60mph roll it pulls pretty good, the motor seems to be stock? cant hear a cam or anything, it has new dual exhaust, with some original mufflers so it is very quiet, the motor is real quiet as well, the previous owner installed brake booster pump with all rotors on all four corners, so it brakes very smooth like a new truck, and also installed power steering, so its almost like riding in a cadillac!!! lol... he also put a new gas tank... the truck has very little rust, and most of it is in the bed floor, so the bed floor will be replaced and the whole truck will get primered for the time being until the new drivetrain goes in..... as of now the plans is to install my drivetrain that I have in my 01 into this one... it should be an 11sec n/a truck with that combo..... unless I find another 6.0 then I'll do that so I wont have to take it off my other one... by the way the guy that I bought it from is big time into old school motors, I told him what the plans were for it and he offered me $800 for the 454 whenever I took it out plus he told me he'll give me extra for the tranny aswell... but until then its going to sit in the garage for atlest 3months, then the project will start...
