Taco52's 01 Budget Build

throw some wheel spaces on it til ya get new wheels. thats what im gonna do

 

I dont even want to spend the money on spacers anyway. Id rather save for other things. I think a magnaflow is coming my way soon. Ive been putting a lot of attention into my 66 chevy c10 lately so thats where my money is headed. I am in the process of redoing the interior and maybe (in my dreams) a new motor for that thing.

 

Yeah. After all my research I can conclude that it is the best for my needs. Just a little more grunt without a deafening drone.

 

what color is it? my buddy just bought a '72 c10 i think. his is candy apple red, 3 on the tree

 

Mine is a grey color. It was also 3 on the tree but we ran into linkage problems and now its a three on the floor. Its got the original 243 inline six. Working on the interior right now

Here are a few pictures of it






And then this happened.... But my father and I working on getting it fixed

 

that looks dang good man, is that your taco in the back of that one pic? why is it nose diving majorly? and yea my buddys is doin that around the tank too. his has the stock original 305 in it. but hes planning on swappin it out for a 350

 

That is my taco in the background. Its probably looking weird since its on stock suspension and the truck is on a hill. All the paint peeling happened in a matter of 3 hours. I was at work and the gas expanded as it got hot and i was on a small hill and BAM! I was super pissed off when i saw it.

 

you took them before you lifted im assuming?

 

The pictures??? Yes, they were taken before the lift was installed.

 

Well, Hopefully Santa is nice enough to bring some goodies for the truck tomorrow. I hoping for Magnaflow, Hella's, and a ultraguage. Its kinda a lot but there is a lot of presents on our Christmas tree so only time will tell.

 

Good news. I got magnaflow and a ultraguage for Christmas. I also got Hella 700ff's but they are on backorder. Already hooked up the ultraguage and i really like it so far

 

nice!!! i think im about to order a deckplate, and talk to the local muffler shop about making mine a little deeper. then some kind of grille, i really want to do a sotashi mesh.

 

I would love to do a statoshi but i dont know if i have the guts to tackle it on my own. I would do a deckplate mod in a heartbeat but I live on dirt roads and dont feel like replacing my filter more often.

 

yea i understand that, im gonna put a screen behind my plate to give a little more filter when i do it.

 

Ive thought about that. Anyways. Another update. I got the magnaflow installed on my truck and really like it. Its getting a little louder now. Ive ran about a tank of fuel through it and think its exactly what i wanted. I am very pleased with it.

 

Hauled some wood today. The taco did well with all the weight

 

Well a little bit of an update. I am in the works to get a trail gear low pro bumper this Saturday used for an awesome deal. Also I have Hella 700ff that were back ordered and they should be here middle of the month which would go perfect if i get the bumper. I am super excited for this month if everything works out for the truck

 

Got myself a toy to install tomorrow hopefully. only 300 bucks and in almost perfect condition. I love craigslist.

 

Got my bumper installed today. looks great.

 

Well its been a while since I have updated this so here it goes

Got some Hella 700ff's i need to mount. Hopefully this weekend.



I wired up some blinkers I got at the local autoshop for like 4 bucks. I need to get a relay for them because i have hyper blink.



Im also making a light hoop for the bumper. It should be done soon. I have to go bend it at the shop. But I will be getting it soon
