Back after a long break : ) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Glad to be back on this forum. Regardless of other social media sources this seems to still be the best and most informative resource out there!
Just picked up a swb 67 driving project! I’ve been working my way up to this over the last 12yrs since I started teaching myself to work on old vehicles. Started with a 70lwb, which I loved but then needed something more family friendly. Then got the 78 k5-2wd (still in my signature). Fixed it up and then had to sell it to buy the house (priorities ughh). After selling the house and moving to TN this July from WA I was finally able to get the truck I’ve always wanted. Every car show, swap meet etc. I’ve always wanted a swb c10, but they were either out of my price range or not practical at the time. I’ll try to attach a pic of the new project.
