Hello from a "newbee"
Hello everyone, from North-Central Arkansas !!! This board is the greatest. Everyone seems so helpful & friendly, I'm ready to venture a post as a newbee.
I'm new to '67-72 Chevy trucking, & time spent reading thru the past posts is a great learning experience. My baby is a '68 C-10 shorty, which started it's "new-life" with me about a year ago, as a really-good 68,000 original, that I bought partially-done, with a 350/350, 5-lug disks front & 5-lug drums rear. I've had the engine rebuilt, added 8" Ralleys & new tires & a ton of small fixes (lotsa $$$) to get it safe & reliable to drive. FUN time now, while I accumulate parts to get "finished," --- as if you ever really get there...... I'll try to attach/insert a photo, but not really sure how to do that part. Sorry if it doesn't work. |

Welcome from Southern California. Very nice truck. Is that factory stance or has it been dropped some? What size tires and wheels are you running?
