Or would these look better on the 69’ c10
The first one is a factory rally wheel. They were on trucks and vans, just not until the mid 70s, I think.
Bed is off, wife and oldest son helped and the cheap HB wheel Dollys were just what was needed to swing the ass end away.
Exhaust is off...now to clean and paint the frame.. and get those shocks off...
I want to get 1969 correct wheels... any links for those?
Perfect.. Chevy dogdish will fit poifect in thar...
I wonder if they make those wheels in a 15x8? Then put the caps on.

This truck came with TH400
Should I try to switch to 700r4?

That's your call, pros and cons to both transmissions. You will want to find out what gear ratio is in the axle, then decide how you are going to use the truck as well as decide if you are going to add lots of power.
I know it's a bigger money investment, but I'd really try to find a 4l60e instead of a 700r4. I'm so glad I don't have to mess with the TV cable anymore. The only time the TV cable doesn't bother me as much, is if it's connected to a factory engine/carb/TBI that came factory equipped with a 700r4. You start putting aftermarket stuff on and the TV gets to be a pain. And you gotta figure out how you want to control the lockup torque converter.
My crew cab has a 4l80e with a standalone controller. The controller makes the 4l60e/4l80e swap more expensive, but it's nice to be able to mess with shift characteristics.

The TV cable is easy with a carburetor, Bowtie Overdrives has gotten the geometry figured out. The lock-up can be done automatically in the valve body, without any electrical.
To put a 4L60E behind and engine with a carburetor requires a TPS, correct? And then the controller.
I have been running a 700R4 behind my big block with a Quadrajet for over 40K miles, it works fine, however I REALLY like the way the one in my '72 C10 works with the Bowtie kit. The key is getting the cable pivot closer to the throttle shaft than most old school "kick down " cables required.

So a fellow Chevy guy in my neighborhood stopped by and said name him a price for the 69’ c10. He usually flips them but wants a project for him and his son. Which was my motivation in buying this truck to begin with. His son is older and already into cars, mine isn’t and I don’t know if he or any of my kids will be. They are still young.
I know there is a lot to do with this vehicle. And it will be expensive. But I could sell it and use that money to get an already running 67-72 longbed and be driving next week... and either cut the longbed or keep it long..
Advice please....
Haha

The old saying goes, "a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush". I'd keep it unless you're finding something that's making you really want to get rid of it. This vintage truck is going up in value.
