1971 Chevy C-10 Base Model

My name is Travis and im kinda on a budget and Im the owner of a slightly rusty but very cool 1971 Chevy C-10. I am a full-time highschool student and a full-time college student at the same time. At the college i attend i have already taken 1 year of auto body and collision repair and i am currently taking my second year of the same class just so I can do as much free repairing as i possibly can. The Color on the truck is rattle-can flat black the only reason why I use the spray paint is because i do soo much work as i can weekly to my truck that i dont feel comfortble with just spending loads of dollars on expensive primer when spray paint is so cheap. Being sponsored would be a dream come true for me. There are so many things that i would have done to my truck if only I had the money for it, but even now im struggling finding a job in my town so basically im even streching my dollars to even get gas.

Some people might ask why did Travis pick a 1971 Chevrolet C-10 pick-up of all things in the world. Well the reason is..My parents and I were driving home one day just down another road than usual and thats when i saw it a beautiful rusty longbed pick-up truck in regular grey crappy primer with a brush guard and a headache rack on it. On the inside: torn bench seat, non-working AM radio, see through floor and a niced cracked windshield. At that time a had never seen any truck like it in my life and I instantly fell in love with it. Yes my dream truck was a farm truck originally and I just could'nt deal with that. Both sides of my family are racers Drag racing and street racing is in my blood so as soon as the truck was payed for and mine i took off the headache rack and the brush guard just so i could just stand it.

It had an Original 307 Small Block with a 1X4 rear axle which is pretty fun actually haha. Dual 1 inch exhaust which was cracked behind the crusty mufflers so awesome exhaust leak.

Current Modifications:
1.Dumped Dual Flowmaster 44's
2.Shaved door handle kit has been installed and is being perfected
3.Brand new Rocker Panels
4.Hidden Stereo System
5.Custom Pinstriping on dash
6.American Racing Convo Pro's 15X8 on the back axle while stock steel wheels with chrome trim rings are on the front axle
7.Blacked out Tail lenses and back-up lenses, the only classic 71 C-10 with blacked out lights in my town
8.The grille has been painted black and a new color matched front bumper has been put on
9.Custom Air Intake system
10.Performance Radiator "truck never gets hot now, Awesome "
11.Shaved Antenna and filled bed posts holes

Future Modifications:
1. H.I.D. Coversion Kit
2. 2" Front & 4" Rear Lowering suspension package
3. Professional Paint Job
4. American Racing Torq Thrust-M Rims 20"s
5. Tinted Windows
6. Knight Rider L.E.D Light in grille connected to switch
7. Remote Start System
8. 572 Big block WAY in the future due to price
9. Turbonetics supercharger THUMPER

That's all that's going on with my truck at the moment all the help i could get financially and sponsorship wise for my truck would be greatly appreciated.

Performance, suspension, lighting, and audio sponorships are the main sponsorships that I would want to recieve.
I am modifying my truck for the reason that anyone would have their vehicle modified. Some poeple have their vehicle modified just because they want an aweome ride, some do it because to get respect with peers.
But I am doing it for those reasons and a whole number of other reasons.
Pictures will be posted ASAP
