It's been 9 yrs, I should say Hi

So I joined this site on 4-20(not intentional) 2012, as I'd planned on buying an old C10.

Life kind of got in the way, I had two kids, then I had cancer, then I divorced, and up until recently I lived in an apartment with limited space.

But as of this week I own my own home with a decent sized garage, and my kids are costing me marginally less money(oh and I paid off those pesky medical bills).

Now Back to the truck. In 2012 I lived in MT and that is where I got my 1966 C10 long/fleet. The original owner was a volunteer firefighter, I think that's why he chose "omaha orange/red?" I think it's a farm truck, it has a 4 speed transmission on the floor with a 292 straight six..

For the past 8 years it has been in storage here in Portland OR while life happened.
But the time has come to bring it home! I'll probably start by sitting in the garage drinking a beer looking at it, and learning stuff on here(this will be a steep learning curve).

I don't have any pics of the truck, I haven't even went to visit it in 5 years. I do have the little owners packet that came with it though.. So this is my first post, and my first pic! (lesson 1 - how to upload a photo)

I look forward to learning as I go..

Welcome

Glad you were able to keep the Truck thru all that.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the truck.

A build thread is a good thing as you can look back on your build.

Nice that you have SPID and books.

Thanks! I'm a little worried to see its condition... A new family of mice have probably tore things up..
