Oh boy ive got the sickness - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mjo8585 · 07-14-2010, 05:26 AM

Hi I just joined this forum today actually. very new to the whole restoration game. Been a tech for Ford for 5 yrs but always loved chevys. Just bought this awesome '68 C-10 for $1200. It runs and drives great. I'm going to really start in the late fall restoring it. I was wondering if anyone has any advise on what to start looking for as far as common rust spots or just things to look for. Any help would be great. This forum seems so cool and everyone seems to be very helpful to one another. Thanks for any help. I look forward to a long fun road ahead restoring this truck.
