Default Looking through some old pics....

I found pics of a truck we restored a while back. It's a 1983 C10, We bought it for 500 from a salvage sale. The body work took around $10k itself, we slapped a suited up 350 in it, and a turbo 750 for the transmission. I wish I had pics of what the truck looked like before we started. Here are some pics of what it came out to, total was 5+ Years just for restoration.

The truvette sounds good, We were planning on carving something like that between the taillights , but we didn't have a name in mind. It won many show's but we sold it. It was spotless before we sold it. And garage kept, I hope the guy that bought it took good care of it. I would give a leg to see the truck again! I did good burnouts too!!

I can appreciate the work done to the truck just not my taste. Less yellow accents, standard tailgate, and the original front clip the truck would look bad ***. But if thats what you like thats all that matters. +1 for all the hard work man

We were planning on doing like what ^^^ said, But we wanted to try something new. But this was a while back, not recently. If we did it recently we would have alot more plans in mind. Now we have 70's challengers and 60's fastbacks we are working on.
