New guy from Texas
Found a 70 LWB C10 and will be making it a short bed. Luckily I found a SWB frame but am having some problems finding a bed so it looks like I will find out how good my cutting/welding skills are?

Re: New guy from Texas
The tear down has begun. Motor and transmission out a couple of weeks ago. This past weekend took the bed, both bumpers and grill off. Hopefully next weekend we tear apart the front end?

Re: New guy from Texas
That's some progress, start a build thread when you get a chance. It'll be nice to look back when you get finished to see just how far you've come.
