Hi from Missouri (not misery) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sjarrett71 · 12-16-2006, 03:20 PM

Hey guys and gals, just wanted to say Hi. I just acquired a 1971 K10. I have wanted one of these trucks since high school and finally 17 years later have one. The truck was made the same year I was born. It has a new 350, auto trans, 4 inch lift, and hardly any rust. I have been looking around this site for a few days and love it. Everyone seems so helpful and knowledgable. Again, just wanted to say hi.

I posted an avatar. Yes, the grill is off a 69-70. The guy I got the truck from made custom bumpers and didn't have turn signals in them so that is how he remedied the problem, with the earlier grill. I kinda like it, plus I can't afford all the right parts at the moment. I traded a 79 K10 and a 4 wheeler for this truck.
