Same here man! You can put a carport on your driveway as long as its not a permeant structure.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10

I dropped off my 5.3 lm7 to be rebuilt this weekend. My best friend is having some back problems and he is out of work, plus they have a new born baby so I'm gonna pay him to build it for me. He's a subaru guy as you can see from the pic of the 2.5 sti engine pictured!

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10

Got a chance to drive the old C-10 today!! Power steering and breaks work great. Made some adjustments on the carb and got her running a little better. I plan to register it this week and after I put the grille and bumpers back on I'm gonna start working her a little bit!!
