New Guy with a 72 C10

Just got this. Pretty clean. Whoever painted didn't do the best job, but it looks good from 5 feet away. Solid around and under. Got a list of issues I'm going to take care of (radio, speakers, steering wheel, wipers working...) but otherwise I'm pretty happy.
Runs like a hoss, new Holley carb, hooker headers, magnaflow exhaust.

Re: New Guy with a 72 C10

Very good looking truck! It has the stock profile that I have always liked best. Erase the green and insert medium blue and it would be an exact match to my 72. Welcome to you from Tennessee!

Re: New Guy with a 72 C10

Well so far, I have

-changed out the steering wheel to a Grant, kit was missing horn button part.
-Put in a radio and set of closed box speakers to go under the seat.
-fixed wipers/wiper blades/fluid
-put in a Sun Pro tach
-installed rear view mirror
-fixed brake lights
-fixed one headlight
-piddled around with the heater controls, they're a mess
-hooked up the kickdown cable, set idle down on the choke
-fixed door handles


Not bad for a couple hours. I feel like I'm in high school again.
