New guy with 64 C10 & 65 GMC 1000 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi from Austin, TX area. Been lurking for a while and finally ponied up with a subscription so I can post inquiries.

I'm restoring an originally family owned 64 C10 short bed stepside that was re-acquired after it was missing for 25 years.

It's currently totally dismantled frame off with all parts restored and painted to original condition and awaiting top coat on body and bed parts. I'll post pics later in the project section.

I also have a 65 GMC 1000 long bed stepside that I was going to modify with a BBC and power accessories to use as a tow vehicle for my 55 Gasser but I've changed my mind on that project and will probably sell it. Pics to come later in the project section.
