New to me truck

[kevinc]

Just picked up a 1988 C1500 Long Bed. I'm pretty excited about it. 270,000 miles, engine and trans have 30,000 miles. Runs and shifts like a dream. Needs some things here and there. Owner gave me all of the parts for the entire front end. I just need some time to install everything and get an alignment. I have a lot of light bulbs to replace. Most of them are burned out. I have a short list of things to replace or fix, but other than that, it's in excellent condition. The repaint is about 5-10 years old. It's not perfect, but looks great from 5 feet away.

Feels good having a truck again. My last truck, a 1966 C10 short bed I was working on was damaged in a freak F3 tornado on 12/26/2015 that went thru my neighborhood. Completely destroyed the house and the truck took on significant damage. I sold off what was left of the truck and bought this truck as a replacement. After going thru so much heartache over the last 9 months, this truck has been healing for me and my family.

Well. Here it is...
