My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build

I'm 15 and I just bought my first truck, a 1972 Chevy C10. I'm planning to restore it with my dad, but cannot do much as of now because we are about to move houses. Our new house will have a shop ( ![]()

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
Haha, it doesn't snow much here in Eugene, but for the last couple of years, it has for some reason.....so much for this "global warming" garbage.

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
You need to keep up with the news, young man. It's now "climate change". As if the climate has never changed before.

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
It's funny how that works....when they don't know what's going on, they tag it, "climate change."
