Introduction - New C10 Owner (Pics Inside)

[Ulysses]

Hey Guys,

I never envisioned me being in this crowd (67-72 C10) but now that I have my eyes opened my eyes, I have caught the bug and realized that I have been missing out all these years!!

Just a little background (Ill try to keep it short):
Name is Ulysses
28 years old

Owned a 91' Short Cab Fleetside with TBI/355 mild cam(212/218 .449/.456 on 112LSA) on 20s for some years and 18s for the last couple. I owned the truck for 10 years. It was my first truck and it was sad to see it go but it sat in the parking lot after i began my career in a different city while I drove during the week in a company truck while virtually knowing nobody. Life happened and decided to get married so I decided to sell the truck to a friend back home.

My C10 Story:
So after the wedding and the house purchase, it was on to the car or truck purchase. It was either 05-06 GTO with the 6.0 or the 05-06 Silverado SS. But again it wouldnow sit in the garage till I either drove the SS back to the home town (360 miles away) or buy a boat and put a Silverado SS to use. On the way into our community there is a couple driving down the road in a small hot rod which I believe to be an old Cobra with the 427 in it. So the wife proceeds to say (THANK GOD) "why dont you get a cool car like that?" My eyes lit up!! She is the Modern everything type and the 91' was not her thing. Well little did I know that she can appreciate a classic car. So as I was on performancetrucks I stubbled across a 69 C10 in Georgia. After some image research through google I got the bug, and I got it bad! I proceeded to do the search and look for a solid body with good frame and something I could possibly rework and build a motor and throw a wide set of wheels on to finish it off.

Eventually I found one in Miami and picked her up the following weekend. Didn't get the tag till the other week so I had to drive back down the following weekend. Picked her up in Miami and I love it! It hard to say this but I like her more than my 91'. I loved that truck! It had a little better suspension and leafs but man does it feel cool to drive around in this 71'. And a better running motor....but the project and plans are yet to come so stay tuned for the plans.

I will post pics soon....

I look forward to getting involved on this forum now that I have money to spend and change things up myself.
