New Guy from PA
Just thought I'd introduce myself here on the forum. My name is Mike and I'm from North Eastern PA. I just picked up a 1966 C10 Stepside SWB. The truck spent almost it's whole life as a Service station truck in Blue Bell PA which is north of Philly. The C10 is in pretty rough shape right now but I think it's worth saving this old girl from the scrap yard! I'm going to have a ton of questions for you guys during this build. I've never done such extensive rust repair as this truck requires but I think I'll be fine if I take my time. Frame is perfect with only light surface rust. Looks like I found the right place for help and info! Love how active this forum is! I will be starting a build thread shortly. Here are some pictures when we got it home. Still runs and drives great although the brakes hanging up.

Re: New Guy from PA
By the way, I think you need a few more horns.

Re: New Guy from PA
Thanks guys! Yea those are General Lee air horns. They actually work pretty good but will be taken off the truck when the restoration starts.

Re: New Guy from PA
Because of the horns and the general look of the truck my friends/family have named the truck "Project Redneck Express" LOL It might be a little redneck now but it won't be when I'm done with it.
