New from Boise - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

aventur1 · 08-05-2007, 07:40 PM

Just bought a 71 C10 1/2 ton long bed! I'll be posting a question now and then as I work on the truck. It's a daily driver now and will be adding, fixing, and some updating a little at a time. I'm mechanically inclined and have done some small body work here and there. Not a super custom or a complete restore, just bring it looking nice enough for people to stop and look at is fine with me. As I drove around the other day it made me feel good and reminded me of the o'l days, simple with with style. I've looked at a few photos here and seems like there are a few different options etc. that I'm not syre if they were stock option or not. I suppose it's a mater of taste and just build it the way I want useing a idea here and there. So I look forward to reading posts and maybe adding a idea or two. Only thing missing here that I don't see right away is my friend Spell Check, LOL
So I guess it's time to get started!
