New to the Forum - New Truck Too

Just Joined your Forum last night. Always read your posts and wanted a c10. Yesterday my wishes came true and found a gem. A little rough but was in my price range has potential to be something more than just something used to pile trash in. Put a battery in it some gas and started right up. put a new water pump today. started working on the brakes today. There frozen solid. Has Power disc up front and PS. Anybody have any ideas to fill the holes from the trim? Looking for Rims. So many choices

Re: New to the Forum - New Truck Too

Welcome to the forum. This has been a huge help to me. Lots of very knowledgeable people on here who will be willing to help you out when you need it. The search box will be a big help also. Check out the parts for sale section too.

What's your plans for it?? and we like pictures

Re: New to the Forum - New Truck Too

Looks like a great start. running motor and already has disc brakes, sounds like a score

whats wrong with that?

whenever people insinuate i'm going overboard with everything i'm doing to my truck i tell them the line above is the mission statement in a serious deadpan voice.it usually shuts them up

hey good start too,if i build another 67-72 it'll be a c10 shortbed

Welcome to the forum, I too am new and just beginning to build a 1970 C-10. Like you I am shopping for new wheels, and would like the best location for variety and price? Any suggestions are appreciated.....

Re: New to the Forum - New Truck Too

I've been looking at this place for wheels/tires:

http://www.performanceplustire.com/

They are in SoCal with Saturday hours....road trip.

My problem is, just like paint color, I keep changing my mind every 10 mins.

Thanks for the response. I just can't seem to pull the trigger when I am at the tire/wheel shop. I think that I like the Foose but the only ones that fit are the 20" and I was hoping to get a 17" or 18" wheel. It seems that there are few wheels to chose from for my model year, 1970 Chevy C-10
