Finally got one.
Long time lurker, first time poster...LOL. Been a fan of these old C10s for a long time and finally found the right one at the right time for the right price. She is a 1966 but for some reason the previous owner used 65 emblems. She has a 283 small block with a th350 trans that I had to have rebuilt after it went out the second day I owned her. I’ve already fixed a few Other small quirks she had, new fan, fan clutch, water pump, intake, carb, and air cleaner. Still have a long list of things to do, but they will get done piece by piece as time and money allow.
I’ve gotten lots of ideas from reading threads the last several years, but I’m sure I’ll still have lots of questions throughout this project. Well I’ll shut up now and show her off....meet Luanne. |

Re: Finally got one.
Welcome aboard! And very awesome truck! I've been wanting to get a picture in front of a dealer like that for a long time.

Re: Finally got one.
Thank you all for the welcome and the compliments. Gonna take her over to Pigeon Forge this weekend to cruise around and maybe get some ideas at the Rod Run.
