Newbie From Ohio

My name is James Gallick, and I am new here. I have a 1969 C10 with a 1992 stepside bed. It has a 350 in it and it is my daily driver. This seems like a really great place to learn more about these trucks.









Once I can buy something else to drive daily this thing will be redone with an original stepside bed. I'm thinking about a rat rod theme (flat black with red painted wheels and whitewall tires).

Re: Newbie From Ohio

Welcome...glad you are restoring it and using an original bed soon. I don't think those newer ones look right on these trucks.

I'm not sure how soon it will be. This has to be my daily driver for a couple more years before I can tear it apart and put it back together. I agree 100% that the bed just doesn't look right. It does the trick for now though.

Re: Newbie From Ohio

I understand....when it's time, the bed you have should bring enough $$$ to get the one you want.

Re: Newbie From Ohio

I was keeping my mouth shut on the bed thing. You looking for a step side, or a fleet? I MIGHT know where there is a short step, but the guy wants quite a bit for it.

Re: Newbie From Ohio

Yeah, people see my bed and go 'oh that is nice,' but I know they are thinking it looks bad. I would like a short step if you have a hook up I would be willing to pay good money for a clean one. Just let me know.

As far as learning more about these trucks,if the members of this board don't know it,it doesn't exist.
