Default 1975 Chevy C10 Scottsdale Upgrades..

So I bought this 75' C10 about 2 months ago now, was planning on flipping it but I have really put too much money into it right now to make any money on it so planning to take it off the road in the winter to do some work on it, just minor stuff like take off some of the rust off of it and clean up the interior and slap on some paint..

So now that I am thinking about keeping it for a while and since it is a seemingly untouched 350 engine, think about doing some upgrades to get some more power out of it.. And guessing people around these forums have alot more experience with these old babies than I do, so as ever young guy wants with his truck.. Looking for some suggestions for some budget upgrades, some tricks for a bit more power, budget looking like $1000-1500?

Thanks,
Dan

I would put some money into a new clean exhaust system, and find some cheap bolt on performance parts for the vehicle. Many aftermarket parts can be purchased online, so try your luck there. You can buy a good amount of upgrades with that kind of money. You have to decide whether you want to spend your money on a few major upgrades, or a handful of minor.

i myself am planning to do some upgrades on my 75 nova. have been saving money for this for past few months. probably would be starting with the exteriors and then move to the interiors. the engine also needs some repairs.

The radio is below the steering wheel on the right side? YOu have to take off the bezel first and then unscrew the ***** that hold the radio in and voila.
