Hi all,
I just bought this 1970 C10 a few days ago and got it tagged and legal yesterday.    It has a new 350 in it, a fairly new TH350 trans, PS, PB, had A/C but that has been pretty torn up. Paint looks good in pics, but it is pretty rough. Body is fairly straight tho and almost rust free. Interior is pretty rough too. Plan on using it as a daily driver, having new tires installed tomorrow and have ordered new weatherstripping and seals for the windows Looking forward to working on it and will be asking alot of questions here on the forum, I'm sure

Welcome to the forum! I must say, your daily driver is a heck of a lot nicer than mine
 You found yourself a pretty decent truck. You will have lots of fun working on her too.

Re: New to forum
Welcome! I am also a new guy here, but I have found more info in two days than in a previous month. Cool truck, by the way. Just beware that after reading the "builts" section your idea of a minor restoration can shift quite a bit
Mine sure did.

Very nice truck! Don't do like I did and make it so nice and shiny that you don't want to use it as a truck!

Re: New to forum
But be very careful. You will spend more time on this site then working on your truck or spending time with family. You may suffer moments of distraction at work or when you sleep. . you will be amazed at the info these folks have.
