Re: Bub's 79 c10
Phil glad to see you started a build thread. Just move out here...then you can work on it with all of us here.

Re: Bub's 79 c10
You know you didn't actually pay for those. I heard they got ordered on the parts dept tab. Just kidding you man. That is all looking good. Get it together and get it in. Tell my sister that she needs to give up 1 meal a day for a month so you can build your motor...oh wait...don't do that!!!
