[JMC1965]

Greetings,

my first car ever was a 1969 C10 that I received from my grandfather. It was a rusted out, used hard country truck....and I loved it.

Through the years I always told myself I'd have another 67-72 truck when I had the time and money to do it.

Fast forward 30 years...a few kids later that time has come.

So here's what's happening...I travel a lot for work...so I'm having a local shop work the big stuff for me...otherwise it would be another 30 years before I could drive it.

I followed the advice of the forum...if you don't have the garage space, tools and/or time...buy the best truck I can afford before starting.

So I did.

The PO did a good job w/ it...frame off clean up...straight body...
new crate 350 (364 miles on it), TH400, wood bed, new A/C, new carpet, twin electric fans, new steering column, Dakota Digital dash, and refinished bench seat

So for all that...whomever you are PO...I thank you (I got if from a dealer...who got it as a trade)

Not everything that was done was something I would have done (e.g. cowl induction hood with racing stripe)...but heck...the PO did a nice job so I'm keeping it for a while

Now I'm going through to make it my main vehicle when not traveling.

going to attached the pics from dealer to get going....then post updates
