My First Dime
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok I am new to this c10 truck build scean,I have always built Lowrider or Restorod Impalas.I have just sold my last Impala that I took a little to far but I finished it and drove it and some one needed it worse then me so I sold it.Now I am on to this 1965 C10 that i found on a farm 3 miles from my house.So i bought it and drove it home.As soon as i got it home I started looking on the net and ran across this form.I Fell in love .So I started looking and I figured out what I was going to do.I called Nate from Porterbuilt and started talking and that lead into the ordering.So here is my 1965 C10 build.I will post picks on evrything I will be doing to this .I will be trying to get it done in 2 to 3 months ..We will see.
