Trucked in oregon!

[WHAMMY'DWONDER]

Hey everyone, I've been lurking in the forums for months and thought I would finally make it legit and post my newbie thread. My names chris and I live in Albany Oregon. I have a way hammered(beat) 1966 c-10 I bought from the original owner of craigslist for $500 and drove home from 50 miles away. It has 223k on the original 283 2bbl. and 3 on the tree. It does run really good though and I have pretty much been daily driving it. I'm going for 60's style for the most part, kinda taildragger style.I made my own notch, and I did have it bagged in the back but put coils back in because the bags leaked and my compressor stopped working. I would like to bag it again in the rear sometime but for now it has cut jeep springs in back and cut (1.75) coils in front with bumpstop perches removed and relocated shocks. Rides good! have also put a 3.08 geared axle in too. Plans call for a flat mint green and white paint scheme, and a new cab cause this one is toasted, new cab will be a bbw, fully optioned a/c one with original radio and steering wheel with deluxe horn ring, and factory tach and vacuum gauges and best of all NO RUST! This forum rules! lots and lots of good reading and ideas!
