Pictures of my "new" truck
New guy here!!!
I found this site and just wished I found it 7 years ago when my 4x4 was on the road. Tons of good info here. I am just getting out of active duty in the service after 6 years, and will be moving back to MN. YEA!! More time to work on my toys. Well I traded my 73 Nova for it, this and the Nova both needed work, so I think it evened out. Plus I love these trucks. This is a 71 and I also have a 1969 4x4. Sometime in the near future I hope to have the 4x4 under this nicer body and all finished up as one truck. But until then, this makes a nice daily driver.     Here is my 4x4, it has been in storage for about 7 years now. Can't wait to get back to her.  Well thanks in advance for all the help I will be finding on this site, can't wait to get started!!! Brandon

Re: Pictures of my "new" truck
We and your country thank you for your service!!!!! I'd be willing to bet your truck missed you just as much as you missed your truck. I think you need to take some time off and enjoy. oldno7

Re: Pictures of my "new" truck

Re: Pictures of my "new" truck
Well the stocking part is in the truck. There is rust in the floor and rockers, but nothing as bad as my 4x. I could've crawled through the floor in that thing, no need for the doors.
I plan on taking some time with it. The nice body should be sitting on the 4x4 frame. And my friend back home who has a 1970 c10 has his eye on the disc and 5 lug parts. So it worked out for the both of us. I do miss my Nova though. Anyways thanks for the welcomes!! Brandon

Re: Pictures of my "new" truck
welcome to the board, I too am pretty new, and I will say one thing, I thought about selling my truck, but after researching this sight and getting the bug to do this and do that, I have had second thoughts of selling , as a matter of fact I am looking to pick up another truck for a complete redo. amazing how this sight gets in your blood.

Re: Pictures of my "new" truck
too much-- I grew up in Rochester, so I will probably stay around there somewhere. Wife is really family oriented and we both have missed out on quite a bit in 6 years. That is the biggest reason for getting out of the service. I loved every other part of it, well the long hours do get old, but the good with the bad.
That and I can't wait for more free time to work on the trucks!!!
