Thanks alot!!! new member here

I found this board while having a meltdown last Thursday, trying to figure out a gas tank problem. Now you all have added years onto the work I need to do to my truck. Just wanted to say Thanks!!!

Just a few things I need to do that I didn't know about until last Thursday would be relays on the headlights, intermittent wiper switch conversation, Autometer dash conversation or LEDs for the factory gauges and LEDs for the tag lights, side markers, interior lights, brake & running lights. I have also decided to finish the custom kick panels I started so long ago, try to find a seat that is more comfortable, etc etc etc....

Really you all have a great board here and lots of information, I put you in my Favorites as soon as I found you. I am sure you will be hearing much more from me, as I have lots of thoughts, questions, rants, ideas about these trucks.

OH, my truck is 72 C10 longbed Cheyenne, slightly lowered in primer (that's another rant)

Put it back to stock...it will only cost about $19k (only slightly less than mocwon's 20k )but it eliminates all those questions about wheel style, how far to drop, what color to paint, etc...LOL!

Welcome to the forum and....

I feel your pain! Every time I reaad a new thread here my truck gets LESS complete! lol

Specific things that I did not know I "needed" until I got here:
1) Late moodel 64/40 bench
2) Gas tank relocation
3) Static drop (seriously.. I ws against it until I saw some examples..)
4) Intermittnt wipers
5) Tilt column
6) Wood bed


And the list will probably grow...
