Default 1970 Swb C-10

Hello all,

This is my 1970 SWB C-10.

Here is a current list of mods to the truck:
5.3LS motor
700R4 trans by Steve @ SW Performance transmission
2002 Camaro electric fans
Hydro-boost
disk brakes up front
bags
dual viair compressors
5 gallon air tank
line-x everywhere

Next on the list:
Suspension stuff
wheels & tires

I use this truck as a daily driver. The 5.3LS motor is the BEST upgrade that I have made to this truck.

Stay tuned for future updates.

Looks like you got a good body to start with. I have a 68. I love the 67-72 body style. What size wheels do you plan on running?

I will run 20" rims on all four corners. I hopefully can fit 275/40/20 all around.

Scott,

If you got/built your son a 67-72 C-10, you would be one of the coolest dads.

I will have more progress in the coming weeks.

Truck looks really good. Post picts of it once the air ride is installed and finished....

Nice truck. Another fan of the 67-72 C10 right here, particularly the 68 but I wouldn't complain too much if I owned a decent one in ANY year of that range.

Post some more pics of the truck and the progress.
