New from Northwest Arkansas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What's going on, guys? Earlier this month, I picked up my 1970 GMC C15 Sierra Grande and I'm freaking in love with it. Already started ordering parts and personalizing it. The gentlemen that had it before me had it for 9 years and did a ton of engine work, added vintage air/heat, and corrected a few other things.

Since purchasing this month, I tinted the windows and upgraded the low/high beams to LEDs. I've also got the lower trim kit ordered and I've ordered LEDs to replace the rest of the exterior lighting. Also, weighing options on doing half moons or going with rally wheels. Thoughts?

A little about me: I'm not a mechanic or a motor head at all. That said, my brother-in-law and neighbors are and I've always loved the Action Line/Square Body trucks - amongst others. This is my first adventure into this level of awesome with a truck/car and I plan on doing all the work myself so I can learn - with guidance of those who know of course. I did the same thing with a few motorcycles in the past. I'm also into cigars, kayaking, motorcycles (I ride a Softail Deluxe), and woodworking.

Looking forward to learning and contributing in this forum. Thanks!

Welcome! A set of factory hubcaps would look great on that one, but so would the other choices you mentioned
