New to this from Va. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Barney1970 CST · 10-03-2010, 04:04 PM

Hello,
I have restored cars most of my life, but never a truck. Soooo I jumped in with both feet and got 2. I am a proud owner of a 72 lwb and a 70 swb both are fleets. I have lots of work to do, so I will have lots of question to ask.
Here is a couple pictures.

welcome neighbor!

Barney1970 CST · 10-03-2010, 04:26 PM

Thanks. I have some work to do on them both, and figured I needed to talk to people who could help with my question.

Barney1970 CST · 10-03-2010, 04:29 PM

I live in Enon, great place to ride around in a old truck.

Bishops Trucks · 10-03-2010, 07:52 PM

I've been all over Enon when I would come down and visit my cousins, we would always go out and get into that teenage mischeif (how ever you spell that word). My aunt still lives there, I always try to get down there on Thanksgiving.

Welcome to the board from Ohio!

cam.man67 · 10-03-2010, 08:57 PM

Hey from MD! Can't wait to see your truck. If you ever make it up in the Fredco area, let me know

Barney1970 CST · 10-04-2010, 02:19 PM

posted a couple off pictures of the trucks, see what you think.

VA72C10 · 10-03-2010, 09:00 PM

Welcome from Midlothian. Parents are in Chester. Look forward to the truck pictures. And before you order any parts pm me....I just bought a ton of new sheetmetal patches and other parts and can save a bunch on shipping.

dccarpenter · 10-03-2010, 09:22 PM

Welcome from Arlington, VA. Good luck on the trucks, always fun having more than 1, gives one a place to divert your attention when you get frustrated with other one!

camrycurt · 10-04-2010, 12:48 PM

Welcome from Leesburg!

I've just started working (slowly) on a 1970 C10 and I can tell you the people and information on this board are awesome. You'll find the answer to just about anything you need here. Good luck!

Barney1970 CST · 10-04-2010, 02:05 PM

Thanks VA72C10 I will pm you before my next order.

Welcome from Kansas! Joseph

Dads69C10 · 10-04-2010, 01:12 PM

lets see some pics! welcome

Bishops Trucks · 10-04-2010, 03:07 PM

Both look like very nice trucks. I really lke the white one.

Barney1970 CST · 10-04-2010, 03:12 PM

The white 72 is in better shape, a few more chrome parts and a couple things for the inside it will be good to go.
The 70 CST, I will have to spend some more time on, needs body work, and I will go thru the motor.
With winter coming I plan on the 72 being ready by spring.

Bishops Trucks · 10-04-2010, 06:33 PM

Keep us posted with the pics. My Camaro is the winter project. It's getting a 427, M22 & curry rear with a 4 link set up. The '71 Cheyenne K10 will have to wait a little bit.

pickupman · 10-04-2010, 07:20 PM
