Project: Broke College Kid

[sir_talk_alot]

ok so here it goes, ill try to update this when i remember. i know there are other people in my situation, young and broke. after racking my brain for a year and a half on how i can get and afford a truck. i probably looked at 3 dozen trucks, normally it was an old guy who hee'd and haw'd before he said he couldnt part with it. this truck has been through a few people i know, before going back to the original owner who knew i was the only one that was gonna take care of it. its a '70 custom 10 swb a/c cab. had a power glide at one time, now a t350. i figure that as financially limited as i am, with college full time and work, that if i could do it, it will motivate others. this weekend i started with a few small things. i removed the ugly spot light, i didnt like it, so i listed it on craigslist, i pulled the tailgate off, gonna sell it, i would rather have the bed with the chevrolet stamped in. i readjusted the shift linkage so that i could get it into other gears. my plans are to get rid of the 31 in tires for low pros, and lower the truck 3/5. drop a beefed engine in it and call it a day. we'll see what happens. and also, if anyone cares to follow me, im going to try to weekly post pics of other c10s from the 60's and 70s as i see them. i see maybe one or two a week, so i may start a thread that is nothing but different trucks.
