Hello from a "newbee"

Hello everyone, from North-Central Arkansas !!! This board is the greatest. Everyone seems so helpful & friendly, I'm ready to venture a post as a newbee.

I'm new to '67-72 Chevy trucking, & time spent reading thru the past posts is a great learning experience.

My baby is a '68 C-10 shorty, which started it's "new-life" with me about a year ago, as a really-good 68,000 original, that I bought partially-done, with a 350/350, 5-lug disks front & 5-lug drums rear. I've had the engine rebuilt, added 8" Ralleys & new tires & a ton of small fixes (lotsa $$$) to get it safe & reliable to drive.

FUN time now, while I accumulate parts to get "finished," --- as if you ever really get there......

I'll try to attach/insert a photo, but not really sure how to do that part. Sorry if it doesn't work.

Welcome from Southern California. Very nice truck. Is that factory stance or has it been dropped some? What size tires and wheels are you running?
