My '65 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ynotnow817 · 11-30-2009, 03:58 PM

Hi,
I am a total noob and just bought a '65 c10 sb stepside. I have been lurking for awhile now and decided I should just jump on in. Just to warn you, I will be asking many "stupid" questions so I appreciate your patience and expertise.

I know there are a ton of talented people on here and yall seem more than happy to help, so I am very excited.

Here is my new project.

Good looking truck. What are your plans for it?

Are either of you in a club?

Nope, no club. But if you're interested in a club I'd check out Pickups N Panels(http://www.pickupsnpanels.com/default.htm). I've thought about joining, they seem like a good group.

Oh and the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!!

Welcome from the Northwest. I'm signed up on six other related truck sites, but this is where I spend 95% of my web time.

Wide variety of people, backgrounds and experience levels and there's something of interest and to learn for all of us. You'll also find it's about the friendliest. The forum members are sharing and respectful, and the moderators are very supportive.

**Clyde65** · 12-01-2009, 10:54 AM

Welcome from Fort Worth, where in Arlington are you? If I may suggest, do not scrimp on your brakes, or anything for that matter. I have had my truck over 20 years and everytime I go through something, I wish I would have done something different the last time I was rebuilding or replacing something.

I admire you working on the truck with your son, that is very cool!!!!!!!!!

Travillac, where in Rendon are you looking, I live very close to there, maybe I know the guy with the truck.

Ynotnow817 · 12-01-2009, 02:18 PM

Thanks evryone for the warm welcome and kind words.
