New to the forum with a 69 C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OldSarge · 01-15-2007, 10:07 AM

Hi everyone! After returning from Iraq a few months ago, I bought this 69 C10 shortbed. Currently I have done all the work to the 350 and transmission. I have completed most of the body work. Now it is prepped for painting. I like working on the older trucks. I hate the newer ones because of the computers and more wiring. Im a simple guy from Mississippi that joined the Army so if it gets too technical, I get confused!

I am soon moving to Kentucky so I have alot of work to get the truck ready for the move. SO alot of long nights and weekends that will piss the wife off!

This site has helped me alot already, thanks everyone that posts their experiences!
