Another new guy from central CA! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

metalmassfab · 03-02-2007, 02:27 PM

Howdy all, great site! Its really satisfying to see so many chevy truck obsessions!! I've got a '69 C-20 Custom 'work truck', and I've driven her all over the U.S.A, from coast to coast. I spent spent 4 sad years in MO, and the salty roads took a nasty toll on the poor truck. So, now its time for a home done frame-off resto! I am looking forward to tapping into the huge amount of knowledge here on the site...the pics below (the dates are wrong...)
I built an AFR headed 383 for the 'work truck', decided to build a test stand for the 383, and my daughter helping with some trial-fit work!

Thanks for the warm welcome! This board is the biggest 'band 'o brothers' I've ever seen. Maybe the greatest thing since our trucks went into production!
