New member from England

[Cadaver]

Hi everyone,

I'm Matt and I'm from a town called Woking in England (The town is known for producing both McLaren cars and the Spice Girls!). I'm the proud owner of a 1968 GMC C15 long bed which I bought in August last year and have spent almost all of my ownership trying to fix up.

It turns out that I bought a bit of a lemon! Lots of rust, and a tranny which randomly decided to change into first at 60mph turning the engine into a parts can. The Chevy 250ci has been chucked in the garbage and a nice 350 is going in it's place with a t56 manual gearbox.

Everything for US import vehicles is expensive and hard to get hold of in England, so it's a bit of a slow project of love where I've been buying what I can when I can. Used parts are almost impossible to buy, so new is the best way to go.

Anyway, some pictures! Shortly before I got it:





Some of the hidden rust:


How she looks at the moment:


Next on the list is a complete re-wire as what was there previously was junk. Hopefully I'll have some positive updates soon!

Anyway, thanks for reading and I look forward to using the forum

Matt
