I lurk no more.......

Hi Everyone! I've been on the forum for a little while now, but until the 5th of july, I didn't own a classic Chevy truck. I bought a 1971 C10 shortbed fleetside from Randy H. in Joplin,MO. he had started to do the restoration on this classic, but his family grew and he passed the torch onto me. I'll post some pictures tomorrow of my project, as I don't have any here with me at the moment.
My plans are to do a "Resto-Mod" I'm leaving the truck stock for the most part, except 4/6 drop and I'm going to run a LQ9 6.0 engine with factory EFI, A/C and Power steering, rear disc brakes-(already has front disc) I'm going to spring for some nice Billet wheels later, but for now, I have a nice set of 15 x 8 rally's with the deep trim rings. my plan is to convert this Non Air cab to A/C
Using the factory A/C housing, and cable controls, but run the newer cycling compressor type system -vs. POA valve setup. I'm getting ready to blast the frame and cab with recycled crushed glass, and start the rust repairs on the rocker panels and cab corners.well, I have to run, but I'll update this tomorrow with some pictures.
Have a good one!
