1972 C20 build and adventure thread

Hey guys, I've been a member/lurker on here since May of 2013 when I picked up my 1972 C20, so I figured it was about time I tried to contribute some content.

I purchased the truck with the intent of using it as a daily driver, while also using it as an educational opportunity. I've worked on cars most of my life, but have never had the opportunity to rebuild entire systems on a vehicle. To that end, follow along as I post the past 6 years of ownership, upgrades, and adventures...hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have this caught up to the present.

As purchased in May 2013....1972 C20....paid $9500. Overall, a very nice example that was mostly stock, with one repaint. There is some rust in the typical spots (driver rear quarter, wheel well, etc), but nothing that I'm overly concerned with at the moment. When I retire from the Navy in 4 years and move to Texas, Ill probably pull the body off the frame and send it out to have the metal and paint work done, then reassemble myself. In the time being, I'm just enjoying tinkering and driving!
