Hello from Florida
 

Hi all,

Liz just sorted out my joining, bless her! I appreciate her help.

So I've just bought a 1969 C10 short bed with more rust than structural steel, as it's a true coastal truck. This is also my first ever Chevrolet, as my wife's dad has 49 Stepsides and is converting me.

The plan for this truck is to get it ready to do the Power Tour in June... So I think I'll need a lot of help and parts to get this thing to do 3,000 miles.

Thanks, Alex

This is it, not much to look at now, though I do have big plans! Just get it road worthy first!

Welcome!
I would sort out the mechanical stuff first because you can still go on power tour with rusty panels

Re: Hello from Florida
 

Thank you!

That's the plan. Get something that drives, stops and steers and then we'll get to making it look pretty. I'm excited. Though a lot of unknowns about old Chevy trucks.

Glad to be able to help. Welcome to the community

Welcome! The truck looks really cool already. If you wanted to start a build thread, it would be cool to see your preparation efforts for the power tour and maybe even take us along with pictures and commentary.

Thank you all! I’ll try and get that going. Looks cool just nice and rusty.

Thanks all!
