Hello from Tyler, Texas...or should I say "Howdy!"
hey guys my name is aaron tavenner. i just turned 19 this past wednesday and i must testify. i just got ahold of my first hot rod... a '67 chevy c-10 with a 454. ive wanted one of these puppies since i saw the burnt orange project truck on the tv show "trucks!". i found it last thursday... drove up 2 1/2 hours to check it out on friday... and bought it and drove it home on sunday! i love the site and i know i have alot to learn, hopefully some of you gray hairs will lend me your wisdom!
 here's a few pics for yall to check out... truck is lowered with Early Classic Enterprises spindles, springs and shocks. The rear is dropped using ECE springs, relocated shock mounts, and a fully adjustable pan hardbar.   Chevrolet 454ci mostly stock right now... .040 over Edelbrock Performer RPM dual-plane manifold Holley 650 (a new barry grant demon 750 is on the way) CompCams 280 Hydraulic Grind cam K&N filter Sanderson headers to 2.5" exhaust with Flowmasters 4-core radiator '72 power disc brakes

Re: Hello from Tyler, Texas... or should I say, "Howdy!"
thanks for all the kind words
here's a few better quality pics ya the springs on the hood are a little old you have to press on each side after you shut it or else it sticks out like this ^ lol  no its not leaking antifreeze i had just put in a heater shut-off valve and some of the coolant spewed out of the hose when i cut it
