I have a 1971 c10 with the same two tone colors that has been sitting in my back yard since 2007. My dad said he was gonna sell it but I stepped in and basically told him I wanted it even though I’m 16 and don’t have a license or any experience besides coolant top ups. I’ve wanted it since I was a little kid but would have no idea where to start.
Hope you got it my dad gave me his old truck 1970 c10 396 was sitting since 2006 finally got it running I’m 18 now you’ll learn a lot from working on these trucks
Right on! I've got a 68 with a 250 I6 that I want to get to one of these days. Wish mine had disc brakes and 5-bolt hubs. Maybe someday. Looking forward to the project! Hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving! Thanks for the video! Really looking forward to seeing what you get done!
@@e.l.construction5945 Ha! Been building #FrankenTruck for almost 8 years.... I totally get it! Full time job, kids, family, etc.. it ain't like on the TV shows!!
You have the cousin to my old truck... I had a 71 GMC Sierra Grande (different grill and badges, tool box under the front left side of the bed and vinyl wood grain below the chrome). Otherwise pretty much the same. I bought it in ‘79 for $2500 and drove it until ‘88. Traded it in for $2000. Found out that a restoration shop bought it from the dealer for $5000... I had no idea how rare that truck was. I saw it at a car show a couple of years ago. The owner had a For Sale $25,000 sign in the window! Just wish I’d known then what I know now. Eric, yours is definitely worth saving IMHO.
I just bought 2 c10's, a 68 and a 72. The 68 is is horrible shape...but the 72 is in great shape, no rust. the previous owner bought a short bed conversion kit and I'm not sure if I wanna use it. any thoughts?

BurningDinosaurs thanks! I wouldn’t get your hopes up on seeing too much progress very fast, it’s probably going to be a pretty long term project

William Harris I believe it! I’ve started looking at these old chevys online and if done right, they are bringing 40-50,000.
Just wish I had internet when I traded it in... might have kept it for my own project. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Do you have an update on this truck?
This could be an awesome restoration. Any update on it?
I have my first truck to many memories. Don't sell it you will regret it

Time for a 71 project update .. what you decide to do..
Need a update on this truck. Come on man
Not much goin on it now, but it’s on the list
What are you going to do with the homeless rats? That was a sharp truck when you bought it! 305 would be the best.
Digginok I’m thinking about re-homing them at your place. A 305? That’s kinda boring
is it for sale
Sure, about anything I have could be for sale!
Restore that thing
Your definition of original motor is off a bit. Headers, aluminum heads, intake, carb, cam....
Happy Thanksgiving
Keep it an LS swap it
