[JDub1971]

Alright guys I'm new to site and need your help! I just bought a 71 Chevy c10 deluxe and I'm trying to find a starting plan for my rebuild. Just a little back story my grandfather bought this truck brand new in 71 and drove it until he got to the age were he couldn't keep it running anymore. My dad sold it and I've been trying to buy it back ever since. After my grandfather passed last year I really turned the heat up on the guy that owned the truck and was finally able to talk him him into selling it. Finally after twenty years it's back in my family were it belongs! Sorry for the long story but I can't explain how happy I am to have This truck back. So to my real question I have about 10000 to spend on the truck right how and I can't figure out were to start. I'm open to any sugestions and just want to start in the right place. Thanks for the help in advance

We like pictures. Great story and glad to hear you got you grandpas truck back. As for a build plan have a realistic vision and stick to it, too many changes kill a project and don't get in over your head. And show us some pics.
