It was bound to happen. Chris and I went out this morning in a snowstorm and brought this back 72 C10. I plan on keeping this one but not starting work on it till I have the title in my name. It has 3 on the tree (will be 4 speed) it has 307 will be 350. Needs lots of body work but undercarriage is solid.

Should make for nice project.All that white stuff around and under your trailer,we seldom see that here.Maybe once every 15 years or so.Christmas time everybody is hoping for it.good luck with the build.

Cool truck. My dad bought a 72 and I can tell ya, correct me if I am wrong, but the grille on your truck is a 69-70, not a 72.

You will notice a hughe power increase when you replace the 307 , that year it was low horsepower and low compression.

Note: a 307 is a 283 with a 327 crank from factory

Good luck
