Hi I Just bought an old chev pick up in SA

[Padget]

Hiya all, I just bought an old chev pick up, I really have no idea what it is yet. The registration book says its a 1972 Chevrolet C10.

Firstly this looks like a great site I've learnt more in 10 minutes here than I have in he last month of owning this truck. I'm in South Africa so I've no idea what type of spares I'll be able to get to fix her up. What I need is a reliable work horse so this ain't going to be no show gal.

It had no wiring loom no electrics, and has a small amount of rust, the upolstry is shot and the paint work is RO5 grey. I've managed to get it running and all the spark plugs are now burning a a healthy colour, I've wired up some electics so that I have Lights indicators and brake lights I've tightened the gear selectors up so she goes into gear, and I'll let you Know how I get on.

I'll post some pics soon so some one can tell me what it is that I have bought.
