Newbie from Washington - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dadsbrew · 01-29-2008, 01:02 PM

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I have a 1970 K-10 that used to be a C-10. I've owned it since 1985 and put the body on a 1972 k-10 frame and running gear. That was a lot of work I recommend just buying a K-10

unfortunately I've neglected it for awhile and let it set in the yard under a tree, so many people have stopped to try and buy it from me Ive decided I should get to work on it. It has rust in all the usual places and needs some lovin. I heard about this forum from Mike @ Focuztech.com and had to check it out. He was right there is a lot of information here and I hope to take full advantage of that and hopefully contribute some myself.

Mike is a good guy. He doesn't come around the site much anymore.

Hey welcome to the best board from MT. Nice looking truck you have. I like the stance it has. I am prone to lifted trucks.
