Hello from Maryland

[TrshTrk]

New to the c10 world but not new to building.
My love for these trucks date back to being a little guy and my grandfather having a late 60s c series dump truck and my step dad having a broke down 70 tool body chevy truck in the driveway for 10 years. They were both blue and holy **** I'm realizing that I subconsciously bought a blue truck too!!!!
I recently picked up a 69 GMC LWB. I specifically wanted a gmc because I love the double din lights and grill. It was a farm truck its entire life, the bed floor is rotted away and at some point the column shift was ditched and had an auto thrown in(lame). 327 truck. originally green but its been painted.
I was craving a new project since I sold my LS rx7 ground up build.
This will probably be a pretty slow moving build as I'm also buying a house too. I've already found a ton of information and a lot of badass trucks on here and I'm stoked to keep searching around.

so far, I've removed the stupid wheel covers to find the always rad, original white steelies and ditched the tool box. I also have a ton of suspension and brake parts on the way from CPP, McGaugey, and DJM. The plan is resto mod I guess. Practically, rolling on all new/modern equipment, fuel injected but keeping the rough truck look. Still not sure about the bully bar on the front. haha
