Red face WAY SoCal noob
So here is my story.
First off, I don't even own a GM product. I'm what you guys would call an "off-road" guy. I have a rock crawler that I tow on a trailer to different locations all over the country.
So why am I here?
When I was a kid my grandfather, the greatest man who ever lived IMO, had a 1969 C10 SWB, yellow with a V8 and a column shifter. We traveled back and fourth from California to Arkansas every summer in it. Best times of my life.
I always wanted that truck, have no idea what ever became of it.
So now I'm 42 with a kid of my own. Time for a father son project and I'm looking for a C10... thats my story and why I'm here.
GREAT BOARD with lots of cool build threads!
Glad to be here.

Re: WAY SoCal noob
Welcome to the boards, from Indiana. My 72 build is going to be yellow with the center stripe on the sides white (my cab is an old railroad truck). The white / yellow "pops" out and grabs ahold of ya, doesn't it?

No worries there, I'm a firm believer in "bandwidth usage"
BTW, if BigDaddyDaves avatar pic is a factory color, that is the color of the project I don't own yet.

Welcome from Norcal! I'm in search of the perfect 67 SWB C10, so I know the feeling. I want to eventually turn over my C20 to one of my children. Good luck on the search.
