77 C20 Big Brown Box

[FritzA]

Hi All,

I bought my project a while ago but now I'm getting started on it. This first post is just an introduction to the truck. It's a 77 C20. Not fancy or loaded but it has what I wanted. The purpose is to be a decent truck for hauling stuff and towing an old sports car I have out to the track. Sometimes it will be a daily driver when needed.

For background I grew up around cars....especially 60s and 70s Chevy's. I've had a 64 El Camino (my high school car, built BB and TH400, great car), 64 Chevy II SS (sold it for a nice profit before I did anything to it), 75 GMC 1/2 ton shortbed (totaled on the Los Angeles freeways); not to mention my dad's 70 C20 with a 454 and then his 73 crew cab C20 (not a dually) with a 454.

I'll explain my plans for it over the next couple posts.

Sorry the pics aren't the greatest. Shutter on camera was not opening all the way and the bright Colorado sun was really shining.
