My First Chevy ever! 1969 Chevy C10

[spddm0n]

Hey all -

I'm the proud new owner of a 1969 Chevy C10 with 292 6-cylinder (technically...almost! I'm having to apply for a title, as it was lost). It's actually my first American made car ever! I've been building Japanese race cars for a long time (got started with the Fast & Furious style cars (no Hondas though!), and I've always wanted a good GM car/truck (secretly looking for an affordable '66 GTO for 30 years now )

A friend of mine had this on his land when he first bough the property. Looks like one previous owner and 44,974 original miles. It hadn't been started for many years and had service records written on the inside driver door panel suggesting the oil was last changed in 1994 with 44,500 miles.

I drained the old gas, put in some fresh fuel, put in a new battery and it fired right up! Ended up rebuilding the carburetor anyway, but it runs strong!

Anyway, I have some questions that I'll post in another thread, but just wanted to introduce myself! I really excited about this truck!!
