Re: A New teenage member!

WOW thanks for all the compliments guys!! Yes my plan is to keep it as original as possible while still doing some small upgrades. Oh and no I am not going into the auto business, I am planning on following in my dad's footsteps and becoming a firefighter.

Re: A New teenage member!

Welcome from the land of corn and beans. Your truck is exactly what I wanted in high school. Used to dream of a blue/white or orange/white 71-72 but ended up with an '83 Cutlass instead. It took me 20 years to get my C10.

Re: A New teenage member!

Some new blood, that's awesome!

Nice truck, too. I bought my '69 when I was 14, rebuilt it frame-up with my dad, drove it all thru high-school, and still have it...20 years later.

I also have a Prom pic similar to your homecoming pic....with my now wife

Here's one of my senior pics

Re: A New teenage member!

Well guys tomorrow I start deconstruction on the truck! Kind of.. The engine has always leaked a lot of oil and I think it's time to put a stop to it! I will be pulling off the entire front clip off and pulling the motor and trans to give them a little freshening up. The truck runs perfect right now but just leaks a lot of oil so I will not rebuilding the engine but it is getting a VERY good cleaning, all new seals and good paint job. Same goes for the core support and inner fenders, they will get sandblasted and either powdercoated or just sprayed satin black. I know you guys love pics so there will be many pics to come!
