New guy from NW Arkansas

[TripleZero]

Been kinda lurking for awhile, finally got the c10 I've been trying to get my hands on for the past 5-6 years.
It's an 86 long bed. My wife's grandparents bought it new in jan of 86(same month/year my wife was born), shortly after meeting them I noticed it sitting behind their house under a port and asked if them about it. They said they'd never thought about getting rid of it and still used it around the property. Well about 2-3 years ago the infamous gas tank rust shut it down and it sat. Due to their declining health, they never had the time, finances, or means to fixing it. Well in april, My father in law tells me they'd like to give me the truck, they knew I've been wanting it and they wanted someone that would really appreciate the truck. So after a 20 hour drive back in May, we hauled her back here from Mississippi. I swapped out the tank for a new one and she fired up with a shot of starting fluid and I've been driving it since.
I plan to plant it flat on the rockers on some 22's. But that's way down the road. I have too many other projects at the moment and I'm just enjoying driving it.
It's a 305 with a turbo 350, cruise, tilt, power steering, a/c.
Ok, enough of the story, here's the pix
