Another newb from Raleigh, NC. What are the chances?

Darn good apparently. The odd thing is that I've been a fan of the '67 to '72 Chevy trucks since I was born, almost literally, so I'm surprised it's taken me this long to get on the 'net and find this site.

I've got fond memories of my mom's '69 Camaro parked next to my dad's '71 C-20 4x4. Whereas the Camaro went, the truck stuck around for years. I sat in the passenger's seat for all those years until about 13, when I got a '65 Chev truck, which had a short life; the frame was rusted out. After junking that truck, I moved on to a '68 Chev that my father and I rebuilt pretty much from the ground up. It wasn't a great job, but the truck was whole, without holes. I kept it until I was about 17, and sold it after only driving it for a few months. Eventually my love for those trucks would resurrect in the form of a few more, the last of which was a '67 C20 that somebody had restored well.

That truck eventually took me and a U-haul trailer from Northern Michigan to Raleigh, where it was sold because I didn't have enough money to pay the bills. Sad day. Since then I've been out of those trucks, despite my love for them. Until yesterday.

I found what I *think* is a '68 CST sitting a couple of hours away that I put money down on last night. I hope to pick it up this weekend... and then I hope to take advantage of your knowledge, as I'm going to need a LOT of information as to what this truck is/was/will be again. I've got a big restoration project ahead of me, and I'm sure I'm going to need lots of help.

I'm looking forward to posting to y'all and chatting about these old trucks to death... especially since nobody in my house wants to hear me go off about them anymore... Thanks!
