Hello all. I have a 1970 Chevrolet Custom 10 that my dad had when he was 16. Its now been in the family for 28 years, and been sitting in the year for around 16 years. Now that I am 16, its mine. We’re working on building it back up. We should be firing up this weekend.

Better get a YYE sticker on her someplace! She looks like she is in fairly decent condition for her age. You’ve got nice rubber all around and with that engine you are dropping in she should prove to be one sweet truck! Take good care of her. Maybe dangle a vintage Duncan Imperial from the rearview mirror, make her the official ride of yo-yoers worldwide. ---

You are singing my song little brother. I had a 1972 Chevy C15 long wide bed. 350 4 bolt. Dart 202 heads, Eldelbrock performer RPM intake, Holley 800 double pumper. Large comp cam. Don’t remember the stats on the cam but it was about a 630 lift. Headers. Trw 40 over pistons. Steel crank. Geared timing on mine as well. gives you that blower whine sound. Also super responsive throttle. I’m impressed with your truck. LOVE IT!!! Forgot to mention I had a 400 turbo trans with a 3300 stall converter on mine. Had to because of the cam size. Series 40 flowmasters with 3’’ in 3" out. Had a pair of those that went back to about a foot under the cab with 55 degree turndowns. I miss how loud that truck was. Mand I miss it… 😢 ---

yeah my truck bein a long wide bed made it a bit heavier than your truck but I still ran 11.30’s in the 1/4 mile. 123 mph. It was much faster than that though. Highway speeds were scary! ---
