Default '71 LWB C10 in DD mode now!

71 Chevy LWB 109k original miles was a 350/350 set up but now we are sporting a 16k mile LQ4/4L80 set up.



it's being guided in by brother


6.0 in there


I love these headers


My 2 boys worked on the rims some last week and I think it looks alot better


Might need a posi soon


Got to upgrade the brakes, have stock manual front disc/rear drums. New brake booster/MC is here ready to go on when I got a few hours.

Default 70c10

It looks like you've got the hard part done, LOOKS GREAT!!. I'm doing the same set up, but a bit more extensive. I'm putting a 77 3/4 ton suspension under a 70 C10, 07 LQ4 75K/4L80. But my trucks a bit more rough, I have it down to the frame. Any advice would be great....wiring, engine(stock location?)/ trans mount/crossmember, fuel pump setup, are the headers for this application or are they car headers. Did you use the original gauges or update to electric ones..... I would appreciate any details.
