My 70 chevy short bed project

[tpope]

Hello all I'm new to the site, just wanted to introduce myself I'm a retired Paramedic and I run a small mower service here in Mooresville N.C. I have a 1959 Chevy truck that was in the 1st Dale Earnhardt movie with a factory original 235 in line 6 that I purchased from my father in law and a recent purchase a 1970 Chevy short bed truck two tone green and white from the factory that was taken apart as a project but never completed, it came with a 283 bored 90 over, i just had the heads ground at Carolina Crank and is being assembled this week for the project that will continue through the next year or so as i have many other projects going that will keep me very busy including a 1976 Ford F-350 roll back that i will use to move projects and to pick up large mowers, a 1942 Dodge truck from Taylorsville N.C. that was a school maintenance truck, hope you don't mind me mentioning my other projects as they are not Chevy but just thought i would include them when telling you about myself as i love all old trucks, I will let you know how the 70 Chevy project is going and hope to learn much from you all, Thanks T.Pope

As soon as I figure this site out I will send some pics, I screwed up and posted my 59 sideways not sure how that happened, rebuilding a carb is easier than navigating this forum.

hehe... yea? I just finished my weekend "touch-up a scratch on my bumper" that started seven or so odd years ago! Being as you love old trucks, I'm guessing more than a year, both from my experience, and the gut feeling I get from the words, thoughts, and inputs from the great members of this board, which I would say is, "The purpose of the journey is not to arrive!"

Welcome to the board!

Sorry, having some trouble posting pic's to this site, not sure why the pic's of my 59 our side ways and I had several pics of other trucks but can not get them to load ? I will try later. Thanks tpope.

Forum bug. You need to rotate them in a paint program or similar, as the forum software ignores the rotation information that your phone places in the file when taken sideways.
