My Story 71 short step

[71lowboy]

So here we go...... I just recently bought a 71 c-10 short bed step side from AZ,for a father son build. Its on its way now through a shipping company up here to good old Boston MA.Ever since i was a little guy I always remember my dad to have old cars from Prostreet to rare cruisers. The past few years have been real tough on him from breaking his back ,to dealing with cancer and just recently a hip replacement on new years.I was up at his house (its about two hours away) over last summer and I was working on getting one of his camaro's up and running.Over that next week i was up we spent hours in the garage working on his different cars and it was kinda funny we were always one step ahead of each other lol..... if i was under the hood and needed something my father saw where I was going and had the tool in hand already. That to me is what this project is all about. Over the past few months I have been going up there and just helping him with whatever and the conversation arose about a father son project. Well to be honest I kinda brought it up it was running through my mind left and right, I mean we have worked on cars but i wanted something that was ours you know.So i asked myself what cars would my father want to do, I brought up the c-10, showed him a hundred of them , he emailed me a couple hundred more lol and we decided upon a c-10 We saw on ebay. which was great for me cause I always wanted one .So i bought it. This post will follow along as we build it, and also i'm sure ill be looking for some of you guys expert advice on where to get parts or some good advice as we make our way through this project I've thrown a few pics in here for your viewing pleasure.
