New guy from Texas.
Hi, I'm new to the site but not to the trucks. I've had my '71 for almost 10 years now. The truck is mainly a work truck which I don't drive unless I need it.
I just started a new job at a body shop (I'm not a bodyman) so now the body guys are helping me get started on fixing it up now. It C-10 fleetside SWB with a 402/TH400. Here's a couple pics.   I'm daydreaming now about fixing it up. The cab is pretty rotted above the windshield and I have an extra cab that's in good shape to start to work on. Well I hope to pick up a tip or two here. Thanks, Richard. Last edited by Autometer; 04-14-2004 at 02:11 AM. |
