Well I've been a member here for a while now. Started coming by when I bought my 54 Chevy and found a wealth of information here on this site. I'm still working on that one but ended up purchasing a 72 LWB today. Long story short the car that my wife was driving died and I really didn't want to invest the money needed to repair it. So went 'craigslisting' and ran across a 72 C10 (was actually looking for a 71 since that's the year I was born

Check out the pic of the seat. To top it off it already runs!!!! My plans are to do a truly 'budget' build (tune up, shocks, replace bushings etc) and keep it mostly stock. I plan on it being my daily driver. I say plan because as you can see in some of the pics the wife inspected my 'purchase' and started dropping hints about "it might be a good idea for me to just keep driving the SUV and she'll take the 72". Needless to say I threw her the dirtest look that I could safely get away with |
