PROJECT: 1972 Chevy C-10, 'Jenny"

Introductory post about a car restoration project:
1972 Chevy C10 - 'Jenny'

Decided to invest in a classic truck restoration project and convinced my roommate to be my partner. The vehicle is a 1972 Chevy C10. Original pictures from the previous owner shows that the truck was originally green. Over the years, parts of the truck has been replaced and the orange-red paint job was done within the past decade. Jenny comes not running, with 2 flat tires, an Edelbrock 1477 performance carburetor, and a V8 motor that is said to be bored 40 over.

Instead of lowering the C10 off the tow truck using a controlled cable, the operator opted to roll the truck off the tow truck at an incline. Luckily, the brakes work.
