Another new guy, with a 69 C10 SWB

[Mike T]

I've been lurking about the board on and off while helping friends with their c10s but didnt have one of my own..I had a 69 chevy and a 72 GMc in high school, both SWB fleetsides, and missed them greatly..(that was 30 years ago too) finally got another one for myself..I've restored 5 or 6 sixties camaros and currently have one underway at present, but the urge for another c10 never went away...Finally grabbed this one...needs a lot but does at least run and drive..Has a later vortec 350/th350 combo..with disk brakes and power steering already added..not bad for 1700 bucks I thought..its paint and bodywork are...Terrible...but you have to start somewhere I guess! I plan to get rid of the cheesy bucket seats (my head hits the roof anyway!), add a front bumper, reskin the doors or find better ones...etc etc..wiring is a mess too....It'll be fun for sure!!
