just purchased my first 72 C10 a month or so ago. Not my first car I plan on building, but it is my first chevy! I love it though. Plan on an old shop truck look, upgraded suspension pieces, big , wide steelies out back and a nice level ride....one day. I am stationed at Ft Bliss, Tx (El Paso), 28 yrs old And now the pictures!

That's a good looking truck!

Sonoma10714 · 11-20-2012, 01:56 PM

Yeah, it is nice, thus far I have ripped out the interior, the janky exhaust and over the holiday season getting the frame, the underside of the bed, and cab floor inside and out ready for some rust bullet treatment! I hate all the skull crap the PO had...lame.

Welcome. Looks like a pretty nice truck. Someone put a good amount of time and money into it, hopefully it was done up right.

yeah, they're after market from the PO. They did put some money into it, the frame and body are in great shape...the trim holes were welded and grinded down properly. Guess ill find out when I start stripping the frame next month.
