Hello!
Sorry for not formally introducing myself. My name is Kaleb and I have been a member of the forum for a few months but haven't told anyone about my truck so here goes! I bought my 71 c 10 Super a year ago. I found it for sale online, it was in Florida a 73 year old man had started restoring when he had a heart attack and had to end up getting rid of some of his toys so I guess I lucked up. The hard part was talking my better half into the 17 hr ride from North Louisiana which believe me took some talking. It is set up with 350/350 automatic, a.c., tilt, tach, with currently 4.10 gears. However it happens to be in the shop this weekend getting converted to 3.08 gears as I do a lot of freeway cruising. On the freeway the SB tends to SCREAM around 55-60 mph so hopefully that will be taken care of. Anyways sorry I haven't formall introduced myself but I'm glad to be here!

Re: Hello!
That's what I was thinking, sweet ride. How about some interior shots. Some people would kill for a bed floor that straight!
