Hope I haven't bitten off too much... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Fe2o3 · 06-29-2007, 04:21 PM

Hi guys and girls. I cannot believe that I have only now found this site! My Dad bought a 72 Cheyenne K 10 back in 1980 when I was just learning to drive. In '89 he stopped driving it and began to take it apart, but was saving it for a retirement project. He didn't get to retire, and I was recently given the truck by Mom. In no way do I want to sell it, but that being said, I hope I haven't bitten off too much. Dad had the engine rebuilt to stock in 96 and had run it every month or so for a while. However since he passed it had been in storage with little or no attention.

I'm sure I'll be posting all kinds of questions for all you folks. I'd been putting off gettng started, but you guys have inspired me!

When I figure out how to insert, I'll share.
Hi, my name is Dave and I'm addicted to the 72 Chevy.

Welcome. and if you bite-off of too much, then just spit it out and just take smaller nibles, savor the flavor, you'll swallow the whole thing eventually.
