My first C10 is here
Picked it up in Oregon, drove to Seattle and had it shipped to Alaska. Quite the journey and expense to get one of these up here.
I was worried about just about everything including driving it home from the shippers today in the ice/snow but I picked it up and got it safely in the driveway without a hitch. This is my mid-life-crisis toy. The first fun/hotrod type vehicle I have owned. I guess now the fun starts... Last edited by ak*man; 02-25-2011 at 09:29 PM. |

Re: My first C10 is here
Thanks Gikken20.
I really won't be able to drive it for awhile until spring and my wife's rig inhabits the garage in the winters so I'll stick with interior projects (Seat recovering, steering wheel, maybe dash repaint) for now. I'm also going to practice with my MIG welder (Hobart 135) to see if I can get good enough to tackle some mild rust issues. But, at this point I just have to wait to get out of the clouds from getting this to evaluate where to go from here. I already like the "ratty" look and the stance so I'll try to keep it a driver while I work on it. |

Re: My first C10 is here
Welcome!
I refuse to admit I'm having a mid-life crisis, but I bought mine in November and know how you feel. There are a lot of great guys/gals and a wealth of good information on this board. Good luck to you. You're going to have a lot of fun. I used to do business with the high school band in Eagle River -- you think getting that truck shipped up there was a trick, try shipping fresh citrus from Florida.
