I can't stop staring at that color. Very nice.

I happen to be riding by the Napa store on my way home and remembered to stop and get some plug wires.. yee hawww.

wasted a lot of time thinking about it and looking at stuff on here

It's not "wasted time" if it is what you wanted to do.

Life is short, enjoy the ride!

Picked up a 1.25 inch front sway bar off a 88 chevy 1 ton to install on my 65 C10 :-)

Way to go, Bubba! That's a good day in my book.

I spent yesterday driving from Atlanta GA to Baton Rouge LA to pick up a SWB 4x4 frame from board member 62 short step. Today I picked it up and tomorrow I drive back. Great to meet another board member.

Looked for the vin number tags with no luck. Now after getting out of the shop I found the replies to my thread asking about this issue, so I should be able to find the number later on tonight or tomorrow. I also pulled the front wheels off so I could swap the flat tires out for an old set of rollers I had laying around. Now at least she will roll without firing up the compressor every time. I have to wait until I get the paperwork going before I get too involved in tearing her apart though.

Look on the frame by the left motor mount. They are usually stamped into the frame there.

Yeah, that's gonna be my last resort spot. Until reading the answers to my post I had no idea that GM put the vin tags on the upper side of the door jam on the trucks (I've always built cars and was looking in all the car places). I'm gonna go back and check the door jam again, if it is as empty as I think it is then I'll just get it off the frame. Thanks.

Went out to the shop this morning and found my vin number. After looking at some of the decoders in this site I learned my truck is actually a 1965 C-10.

What i did on the truck today..?
DROVE IT !!!

[chevykid65]

i put the rear end up on jackstands and yanked the rear drivers side brake line that sprung a leak, went out to my moms and jacked the line off of a 67-72 half ton pu box trailer i put out there for her to use. getting ready to head back into town and get that brake line put in and try to finish pulling the old u bolts out of the trailing arms, ordering new ones for my 3 inch blocks i welded up this weekend

[scotts62]

Got my mock up engine in the truck, installed some headers laying around so i know how to fab the trans mount to clear the muffler pipe.

[sshockr]

Drove my crazy LT1 swap around the block for the first time.
