New to the game

[Sam1968 PNW]

Hi, my name is Sam out of Port Orchard Washington. Been waiting for a month to get in here, paid the 25$ and here I am. I just recently purchased a 68 c20 for 700$...been staring at it for 5 yrs! I’ve always wanted to own a truck I can modify myself and take pride in. I have been a welder/fabricator in ship repair for 23 yrs so I can modify/move most of the applications I’ve been reading about, of course with some guidance on know-how. I decided I want a cruisin truck(go 20 to 10)so my plans are to disc all around(got a 80 c10 front crossmember I plan to swap), drop, chop, shave, patina/paint, shorten...you get the picture. Lots of rust so I’ll be cutting, patching, welding and blending a lot. I’ve done a lot of research in the past 6 months, watched a ton of YouTube vids but I’ll definitely be asking more questions. Happy to be here...hope the purists don’t tear me apart! I’ll do my best to post pics as much as I can!
