Old Pickups (C10, K10, F100, etc)

Just trying to start a thread for some older trucks! Looking for some ideas of what to do with my C10! View attachment 393818

 

Paint it black, would mach the wheels well. What do you have in it for a drive-train?

 

Right now it has a small block 350 bored .00030 over, so technically its a 355. Has a TH350 trans. The motor was a circle track motor from an Sk modified. Goes really good, except i just out a new intake and 4 barrel carb on, but now im having an oil pressure issue. Only getting like 5-10 psi max.

 

might be a seal.

 

very noice

 

I honestly have no idea. I cant remember how the oil pressure was before i put the new intake and carb on it, so i cant tell if it got worst. But now in cold weather when i start it you can hear the rockers rubbing metal on metal until it warms up and the oil pressure rises. Im also running a thicker oil so a harder startup is expected b ut its a bit extensive.

worse*

 

Maybe needs a higher flow oil pump?
if that is worn out it could cause some issues

 

worse*

Possibly. We just got it running and timed on sunday. Ill have to investigate some more when i get the chance.

 

what year is your c10?

 

I agree with 'JBatic', paint it black. But I would put a white or silver (this would match the lighter tone of the rim) pinstripe running the whole length of the truck, on the little bump halfway up the sides. Its completely optional of course but in my opinion I think it would look cool.

 

Its a 74.

 

cool, 1 year before catalytic converters and it gives you immunity to all emission laws

 

Yep. Im loving the square body life so far. Amazing trucks.

 

judging by their current prices many people would agree with you
I quite like the boxy styling compared to the monstrosities they are making now. The 2019 silverado is very odd looking, imo the only american brand that hasn't ruined their trucks is ford since why change when your truck is already bestselling for 40 years

 

Hey, i finally figured out the oil pressure problem. When we changed the intake, we didnt drain the block of all its antifreeze so some got in the oil and the oil filter. When water (Antifreeze) gets in the filter, it ruins the filter and clogs it. So when i changed the filter and oil the pressure went right back up.

 

awesome!

 

not a pickup but close enough
I got a bronco


it is a 1989 XLT with a straight 6 and a 5 speed manual
It needs a bit of work but is pretty good for $1700
It came with an extra set of doors and a set of wheels/tires and it has a 4in suspension lift

 

looks like it needs some long, shiny, and twisty new headers

 

Damn that things looks pretty good for 1700 bucks. Does it have any lift?
