Another SoCal Newbie
Hi all,
Just another SoCal (Orange County) newbie here. I bought a 1970 C10 SWB with 400/400. My plan is to switch to disk brakes, add power steering, replace steering column (tilt), change the gauges, and fix numerous other issues. I've spent the last month or so reading thru all the posts here! I will more than likley start asking question in the near future! Mike |

Re: Another SoCal Newbie
Nice truck, welcome aboard. Is that truck from Colorado by chance?

Re: Another SoCal Newbie
Welcome from Studio City. Nice looking truck and I like the 400/400,although that camera angle or lense makes it look kinda wierd under the hood there.Had me wondering for a moment just what that was.

Re: Another SoCal Newbie
Lot's of surprises! It's nothing that can't be fixed. Just upsetting when you're told everthing works and is rust free and that was not the case. Oh well. I will fix it, drive it for a year or two then sell it and buy another one!

Do you know how much it is lowered, I love the stance! What size are the wheels? Can I ask how much you bought it for? Last edited by rough69; 07-05-2007 at 08:35 PM. |

Re: Another SoCal Newbie
Welcome from Placentia Ca!! I just got done having disk brakes and the 80's power steering installed on my truck. Love it! Your truck is really clean! Congrats! This site will come in very handy with whatever you do (It definitely has for me!)
