Re: Birth of a C10
Just been busy with hauling metal and and going out of town for Thanks Giving but I did recently pick up a trailer and a tow hitch setup from a couple different friends for free! Trailer is needs some work and going to be used for scrap metal and hauling whatever I need it for , so Ill have a update hopefully with the way I mount the tow hitch behind the flip up license plate idea I have, and besides that I developed so noisy exhaust leaks and a sweating powersteering hose so today was just doing some maintenance on the truck:

Re: Birth of a C10
Its raining cats and dogs here, so i took a little ride to richies garage and after playing video games for a couple hours, hanging X-mas lights between a break in the storm, we got busy cutting down and rewelding the tow hitch to fit in between the frame rails so itll bolt in and be behind the license plate in the rear grill/roll pan:
the new unit!: Next up date should be with it bolted in and with a flip up license plate if theres ever a break in the rain thats supposed to last all week!

it seems to be doing ok so far with heavy loads with just the bags so far ,levels out pretty nice with a decent size load, and to tell you the truth it rides like a dream with some weight in there, your really notice how bumpy the truck rides with airbags after you leave the scrap yard with a empty truck.. Thanks everyone ill try and get something done on the truck sooner or later, but untill then hold down the fort and ill be checkin in!

Re: Birth of a C10
We got a small 1978 camper to stay in when we take our leave every year, and parked it on blocks on our 14 acres. It is probably half the size what you have there.
Living with another person in that small a space, you get into a rythm real quick. We live in ours for only 30 days a year, but we love it, and I have made so many mods to it the wife teases me that we should have gotten a small camper trailer instead..... Your set up looks really nice man, you certainly are no slouch when it comes to getting work done !!!
