just thought i'd speak...new from Laurel Hill, NC, near Rockingham, looking for a 67-72 c-10 project, just got rid of my dad's 57 Bel-Air the week before Christmas, so we're lookin for somethin new...Dad had a c-10 back when i was little, which he sold soon after i was born..

I've had my eyes peeled on any trucks for sale nearby, most are rustbuckets, there is one, that is at a good starting point, in the next town over from me, owner is looking to get rid of it, out of his bodyshop, its just been sitting out back for a while, 350 has been rebuilt (supposedly), new black paint, and he's in search of a turbo 350 to rebuild, then he's gonna be looking to sell it, and i'm gonna be looking to buy it..

my daily driver is a 98 s-10, 2.2, 5 speed, that i'll eventually plan to drop a lt-1 and a t-56 in, for now its just good for getting me back and forth to classes..

and now for the good stuff on to the 57 pics...

but yea figured this would be a good place for any tips, and help, since i'm pretty new myself to these trucks..
