Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I live in southern Indiana and just picked up a 1971 C10 Deluxe long bed with a 250 inline-6, with coil spring rear. I am normally a Mopar guy (Don't hate me! , but have always liked the 67-72 Chevy trucks.

Bought the truck from a friend that was going through some issues and decided to sell. Told him if he regretted it down the road that I would sell it back to him for what I had into it. Doesn't look like is regretting it, so I guess I have a new project.

Truck is in pretty good shape. He said "It was restored about 10 years ago" but as all know, that means different things to different people. In truth,... the truck may have been painted about 10 years ago, but that's about it. I knew that from looking at it before buying, so no issues there.

Since I bought it, I've replaced the temp sensor, water pump, leaky valve covers, rebuilt the carb, replaced the roached dash pad, and am getting ready to clean up some interior items like the worn out window cranks, worn shifter lever and anti-rattle bushing.

I will be working my way through various projects that this needs like redoing the front and rear suspensions and steering for a start. Motor and trans will need going though too at some point.

Looking forward to picking your brains as I learn about 67-72 Chevy trucks!
