when I 16 my first truck was a 72 cst c10 with factory air and tach. It was sweet. My dad loved the body style for years. picked it up for about 700 and it had a propane injection kit on it. We sold the propane kit for 600. I drove the kit for almost a year then my dad sold it because I couldn't afford gas.
Next we started building a 53 ford f100. We didn't get very far. too much work for us. Plus we really liked the ease and accecability of the c10.
we sold our 53 and bought the 70 c10 I have now. we fixed it up quickly and cheaply the first time and now this go round we will do i the way I want. In fact I was planning on making it a short bed and my dad told me no the cut up the truck he would find and buy a short bed and trade me.
