Hello from Ft. Worth - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

trendkill · 07-09-2009, 03:58 PM

I'm from Ft. Worth, I bought a '72 C10 in May. I've started restoring it. So far I've got the engine pulled and quite a bit of sanding done. I don't know a lot about engines or restoring vehicles so I bought the truck to learn more about it all.

There's a good chance you've seen my truck before. I bought it from a lady that lives across the street from the post office on Las Vegas.

jsbgump · 07-10-2009, 01:46 PM

I worked on that truck when a friend of mine oned it before she got it

I remember that one. Glad to see it went to a good home!

trendkill · 07-10-2009, 02:19 PM

Really?! Small world. That engine was pretty rigged up. That old man that drove it before he died had a broken motor mount that he repaired by chaining the engine down. I work on it in Everman at my grandmothers garage because I live in an apartment.
