Rebuild...(pending a name)

A quick back story on this truck. This truck was given to me for my High School graduation present back in 2004 from my father. It was titled as a 1970 C10 short bed, not much else was known about this truck. At the time of when I got it, it had a crate 350 mated to a th350. It ran but didn't move. Needless to say it needed some work (I will upload some pics of the original state when I can I find them.)
Knowing that, it didn't take long before I started tearing into it. As an eager 17 year old it didn't take long before we had it stripped down, to the frame and cab. This wasn't a full restore at the time, we just replaced what needed to be replaced.
Fast forward a few years and you now see what I have here.

In 2009 my Father lost a battle with Lymphoma Non-Hodgkins. So now this truck means more to me than many people can ever understand, well unless you are another gear head who had a father who had taught you everything you know, and some. The "and some" are the talents you posses despite never receiving instruction by anyone. It was what is instilled in you.

This truck has already been broken down all the way to the frame 13 July, 2013. The time I have allotted myself for this rebuild is 2 years. Think I will achieve it?

Bare with me as I tear apart this truck, keep a clean workable 2 car garage, and keep you posted.

Stay tuned for more pictures and info.

PS. This truck used to be licensed and driven in Central Valley, California. Hughson, Hickman, Modesto, Turlock.
