Hi from a new guy in Texas
Hey everyone! I'm 23 from a small town NW of Lubbock, TX. My grandad recently gave me his truck that I learned to drive in when I was 15. The truck is a 1970 Chevy C20 long bed step side. Its got a BB 402 with a 5 speed tranny and 4:10 rear end. The truck runs good and is in decent shape for being a work truck for the past 30 years. I plan on doing a complete restoration to bring this truck back to its former glory!
I look forward to learning a lot from the great people on this forum! Thanks! |
