Hey all, new guy here from Central PA. Just picked up my long awaited C10 project!
Hi guys, I'm Cory from Central Pennsylvania. I've got loads of info on this site as a non-member and wanted to sign up to meet some ppl, see some cool trucks, get ideas and occasional help with mine. This place is pretty awesome and it seems like everyone knows what they're working with. Perfect! Okay, so I just picked up a 69 C10, Long wood box, original [I think] 350 and a Sag 4 speed. It's a driver, too. Drove it 2 hours home and all was well. Ended up putting a clutch in it, a valve cover set, tune up stuff like plugs, wires and a Streetfire HEI conversion. Runs great, has a slight pan leak at the back, hanging drop. Nothing to be concerned with as I plan on doing a crate around September or November along with a fresh Saginaw. Now, I don't really know that much about these old trucks in general, as I'm a 30 year old "new edge" millenial car technician. The stuff looks so simple ya gotta wonder why things go so well while working on these awesome smallblock beasts. Bahaha. I've definitely converted to the muscle scene! Gone are my standalone fuel management systems and 02 sensors, boost solenoids and EGT probes, and I can put away the headaches of CAN BUS/OBD bull****! On another note, I'm happy to have found my old truck that I've always dreamed of doing up on my own. Now that I'm a married man with kids, I needed something to keep me at home and busy haha. I'd love to post some pics of my new ride, but I am unsure of how to upload photos from my Samsung Galaxy phone. It wouldn't upload my profile pic either, so. If any of you guys could give me a hell yes and some help on how to post a pic, that would be great!
