First Truck: 1972 C10 Longbed Stepside
This is my first truck that I bought in July when I was 16. I am now 17 and working to come up with some cash to start this project up. It is a 250 six with a 4 speed on the floor. The most major issue for this truck is the rust on the cab corners and the rockers. My plans are to build up the six with some parts from Clifford, find a good posi diff, find a body man to tackle the rust and paint, and eventually work on the suspension. I am just wondering if there is any interest in my truck so I can start a build thread on it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Doesn't look like a bad starting point. We welcome build threads from anybody at any level here!

Re: First Truck: 1972 C10 Longbed Stepside
Looks like a good project! I got my truck when I was 8 and I am now 16, I drive it to school everyday and love it. You will have a great time working on it. Have fun!

Re: First Truck: 1972 C10 Longbed Stepside
Also, does anyone have some advice for building up an inline 6? The truck has 59'000 original miles on it.
