A few pics from a new guy. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New to the board here so I figured I would let everyone know a little about me. I bought a '70 C10 lwb stepside in August, 2001. Been working on it on and off ever since. I am almost finished with it now, just needs a front bumper, back bumper needs painting, wood bed needs to be installed (which will be oak), the hood needs to be repainted due to a compressor problem, new side marker lenses to be installed and taillights and reverse lights still need to be hooked up. I finished to seat upholstery today and got the bench seat back in and it looks great. The truck was originally orange with white cab top. I removed the cab trim that seperated the two tone and painted it all white. I hope to be on the road in a few weeks.

Welcome and that is a fine looking pickup up

Fine looking ride you got there! Welcome for Brookhaven! Nothing beats a white stepper! You ever want to replace the driver's side cut out fender for a full fender, let me know. I know where one is that might be available.

Welcome from Indiana. Looks like you have done a fine job on that there truck.

Welcome from sunny Seattle, WA. Your truck looks great! Keep up the good work!

bigbassmann · 10-08-2006, 10:43 PM

Dean, thanks, but I am going to keep the spare tire carrier on the side. I am an 'old school' guy and I like the look of the spare on the outside of the bed.

Nice looking truck. Keep up the good work!

Good to see another long step side - I definitely dig those.

Thanks gang. It makes you feel good when other folks give you pat on the back and like what you are doing.

bigbassmann,
As a recovering bass tournament fisherman I have to ask about your screen name. Do you fish competitively?

bigbassmann · 10-09-2006, 11:28 PM

No, just fish for fun. The screen name actually came about several years ago as a joke. I would always rag one of my buddies about me catching bigger bass than he did, so when I got interested in the internet, I came up with the screen name just to razz him and it has stuck with me ever since.
