Smile Just bought my first classic Chevy p/u



Hey guys - looks like a nice board here. Can't wait to dive into this thing and start posting questions. Pretty soon I may actually know what I've gotten myself into!

Just thought I'd make one of my first posts be about my "new" '72 C20. I'd call it a project, but it's in such great shape already, the project part shouldn't be too tough!

I'll try to post some pics later - don't have any available right now.

It's basically in "farm" form right now, butI plan to change that pretty quickly. I'm planning to lose the school bus type steering wheel (probably go with the classic wooden Grant wheel), trade the tripod towing mirrors for little ones, swap out the wheels and tires, and throw some paint on it. Other than that, it shouldn't need much!

(This post was just to say hello!)
