Re: '71 Chevy C10 LWB
Took the truck to a few shows this summer and towed the trailer all over the area. People are starting to recognize the truck and associate it with the business now which is great. I started selling a lot of rust and rat rod shirts and it just fits the whole image. My grandsons (2 & 4) have gotten to drive it as well as my 12 year old daughter (with the trailer attached!). So many great memories made this summer and fall. We have supported 2 main benefits and helped raise a few thousand dollars for a couple families so it has been well worth the efforts.

Missed all the last update pictures. Good to see you got her painted and back on the road. Your truck looks great! Very cool you are actually using it for a truck

Re: '71 Chevy C10 LWB
It is definitely gonna be used. If I would have put alot of money in it, I would be scared. One day she might get all fancied up, but for now she is available for duty.

Re: '71 Chevy C10 LWB
Now I have decided to take my truck to the next level. In March I will go pick up a wrecked 2005 Chevy 1/2 ton 2wd with a 5.3l, auto trans, ac, and a 40/20/40 split bench! So excited to turn this truck into a reliable daily driver since I drive a minimum of 130 miles round trip to and from work. I will need some guidance as we need to have this thing rolling by mid May so we can do the long haul on the Power Tour. Who is the go to person on this site that can help me with questions?

Re: '71 Chevy C10 LWB
Here is the new Extang Bed Cover I had put on. My 13 year old and myself are planning on going to Madison, WI to join the beginning of the Hot Rod Power Tour and we don't want our stuff to get soaked or blown out of the back, lol. Pretty nice fit and extremely quick to install.

Re: '71 Chevy C10 LWB
This is what it's all about here; making a nice resto on a good usable truck. Right on!

Re: '71 Chevy C10 LWB
My son has been in hospital 3 of the last 4 weeks and I probably wont be able to afford the money or time for the power tour. We gotta take care of our families first. We will still continue to tinker with the truck and take it day by day with everything.
