Project - 72 C10

Great looking truck. Basstracker89 is right. A 383 would be great in there. I built a 383 with a big cam for my son's '69 CST and that thing will GO and sounds awesome.
 
A little update. I changed the Dana 60 axle out and put a 12 bolt 5 lug in it so I could get some better looking wheels. I got the axel off of FB market and rebuilt it. I’ll add LSD later after I make sure the axle is smooth and quiet. It is all back together except I need a one piece drive shaft. I’ll get that made this week hopefully.

Here are the results. Not sure why it looks so blue.

That thing is sittin' pretty and looking so good.
 
One of the cool things about these old trucks is the gas tank is in the cab with you.
When the fuel gauge went bad you never had to replace it. Just jig the steering wheel left, right and listen for the slosh! Drove a 68 Chevy with a factory 5:88 rear-end and a two speed powerglide transmission, engine was a replacement 350. Never got less than 6 MPG, never got more than 6MPG either! Sold it to a mechanic who kept it a couple of months and sold it telling everyone that it got 14 MPG. I asked him later what did he change to go from 6 to 14 MPG? Answer, NOTHING. He said he lied his A@@ off to sell that truck!
