Hey all,

Glad the membership opened back up.
In Dec. '21 I bought what I've been wanting for years... a '69 C10 Stepside shorty. Wasn't really looking for one but it fell in my lap while looking for another project after selling my LS swapped '69 Camaro.

It's in great shape...must have been a Southern truck at some point. Unfortunately it's running a carbed '79 Nova 305. We'll see how long I keep that.
Past owner did power steering, power disk brakes on 2" drop spindles up front, and dropped the truck with a mini C-notch on AccuAir bags with a Viair compressor system. That's what really sold me. It's got that 53 year old patina...which I'm undecided on keeping or not. Everyone keeps telling me to leave it that way.
We'll see.

I'm super pumped about it. Trying to finish fixing up the little stuff before Spring so I can hit the road in it. Damn you Winter weather!
