Proud new C-10 owner

Greetings everyone!

Just wanting to stop by and say hello. New guy from California. I just picked up my first C-10 after years of really wanting one. I was lucky and picked up a solid truck with overall straight body and some major goodies all ready installed. I'm trying to go over everything and make sure everything is in working order. The motors out of a 03 suburban, 5.3L with a 4L60E with a ford 9" rear end.

Hello Lisa,

Yes I will be making changes but in the future. But for now I'm just going rebuild the front steering with a lot from ECE then get an actual drop kit as well. Right now I'm riding on cut springs.

Any particular reason why you haven't picked one up yet?

I have one, I just can't drive it yet haha, it's a project truck my dad and I have been working on. It's got a Pontiac 1972 400 engine and we are getting all the glitches out since it was stored for so long. I can't wait to get it on the road!

Thanks everyone. Westcoast, I'll try and make it out sometime. It would be cool to talk to a few other owners and overall car guys.

How did you find that out? Was it a forum or thread here? I would love find a group or people traveling through in No. CA. Thanks, Lisa
