A dental student's stress reliever

[rubberbandit]

So back in July I was driving home from school one day and had an epiphany......I wanted something to get my mind off the stress of school and books. I drive an old Nissan car with 150,000 miles and I know it will eventually fail beyond repair sooner or later. We (my family and I) don't have a truck, none of our friends have trucks, and we seem to always be in need of one. I grew up on Chevy trucks and after a little searching found one on eBay. (Took a little convincing for the wife but it worked out). Well, after a road trip to Idaho I am now the proud owner of a 1972 Fleetside shortbed C-10.

I have never restored a vehicle before but with the help of lots of books, magazines, and this website I have yet to encounter a problem I couldn't conquer (crossing fingers).

After reading a ton of project build threads I decided to add my own. I will be posting pics of what I have done so far and the progress that I make. Any comments or feedback welcome.
