Bought a 1972 C10 last month from a friend. He bought the truck in 1994 from the original owner, installed new tires and had it painted. He started to install a new wood bed kit and lost interest so the truck sat idle with a partially dissembled bed for the last 30 years.

I am currently working on the bed. After some work the wood is fitting nicely and ready for disassembly and refinishing. When the bed is finished I will be working over the fuel system, cooling system, and brakes. The truck starts and runs. I drove it about 1/2 mile with the bed off.

I have been lurking here for the last month and have gained some valuable insight into these trucks. I have owned a 1967 C20 Fleetside and a 1967 C30 flat bed in the past which I used as work trucks.
