Ill try to keep this short, I was 25 when i bought this 1970 C10. I don't have pictures of the truck when i bought it because i didn't think i was going to do a semi restoration or show my build. I will show you guys my ups and downs with this truck. What I love about this build is that I have the opportunity to build this with my dad. This is the first time I ever build anything, everything i know about these trucks is because of this website. Any questions you guys have just ask. Im Eri (Eddie).
