New From So. Cal.
Hello all, I just picked up a 1966 Chevy C10 Longbed very similar to my first truck at 18. I picked it up as a project truck for my dad and I to work on. 327 with a turbo 350 trans...she runs pretty good too. The first thing we are doing is manual to power steering this weekend. I hope to learn a ton of info from everyone here and maybe contribute to those that need help.Here she is...

Re: New From So. Cal.
Looks like a great truck to start on. You will learn tons thats for sure, I learned to go slow, I have changed my mind more times than I thought I would on my truck. If I had done what I was originally planning I wouldn't be as happy with the results I am getting now.

Re: New From So. Cal.
Welcome from Norcal! That truck looks like a solid start, she looks pretty straight and the power steering will make it way more fun to drive.
