Hello....
Good Morning Everyone,
I thought it would be a good morning to post and introduce myself. The story started 12 years ago when my dad brought home a 1967 C10 Step side short bed from Sacramento for $800. Over the next year or so I helped him tear down the front end and build the truck. Life got busy with me getting married and having the opportunity to serve our great country in the military. Fast forward to today. My dad had kept the truck all those years. Most of the work was done by a local hot rod shop. A couple weeks ago dad asked me if I wanted the C10 to finish. I was so excited when he asked me if I wanted it. I have always enjoyed working on cars. My first truck was a 1965 GMC with the big V6. So here she is. The motor is a 283 bored .40 over with RV cam with 4 on the floor. Dad also had it changed to 5 lugs. I have lots of plans for her in the future.

Re: Hello....
Welcome from Florida! I'm not a big fan of chopping these trucks either but yours looks like it was well done.

Re: Hello....
Welcome aboard, and thank you for your service!! That's a very nice, clean '67. I typically don't care for the chopped-top look but yours is well-proportioned and looks good.

Re: Hello....
very nice, clean and smooth and the chop doesnt look bad at all.
but if you wanna keep that wife happy you better make her side of the truck a lil' more comfy.
