Once this one is finished then Jump on the next. I know once you are on a mission you get things finished so stay the course then proceed.....

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

Maybe Al buys the blue one?

Raul- when I bought my second one, it took a majority of my time and money to get it going too. Its really tough to do both. I havent really touched my step in almost a year. Id finish the white one first. Where would you put the blue one?

Chad I have changed my mind about buying anything else as by Not having no room where to store it. That's why I did not buy the beige truck my coworker bought. Once my new dealership is finished then I can add a couple more to the herd if I found the right one.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

You need it man.. That truck will be nice when finished.

.. literally some of the best OEM metal I have ever seen. Lokar stuff all over it. New painless harness for it. ..etc. I used the console/ buckets in the GMC though. It just needs finished up. Im in over my head man. I just need to focus on one. Trying to start a family too.

I have connections with a rollback too if you need it.

My Brazilian wife will need to join said council for final approval should we need her assistance.
