Hi from Canada

Hi everyone! I have been lurking on here for awhile trying to absorb a bunch of the information while looking for a truck and was pretty happy when the registration was opened again. I picked up a 70 C10 a couple of weeks ago.

Drove it home about 15 miles after it sat for 3 years so I was pretty happy with that. 292 4spd in ok condition. Bed is pretty rusty and whoever did the rockers and cab corners didn't do great work. I just picked up a bunch of patch panels for it and will be looking for some 15x8 rallys.

Maybe you stayed with us, my wife runs an Airbnb and we get lots of guests travelling that route

1st rule is it needs to be drivable every summer so a piece at a time but eventually converted to shortbox, lowered with decent brakes and a 6L/4L80E with a variant of the sloppy don't BS me turbo setup running on Holley Terminator.

Maybe I'll start a build thread to hold myself accountable to someone other than myself :lol:

We always stayed at the Hilltop Inn. Back then it was the Podallin Inn.
And a beer and burger at the Barley Station.
Once again, Welcome!
