My name is Tyler, im 17 and I have my licence and live in Ocean City, MD. I own a 1978 Chevy Bonanza
C-20. 350, 8ft. box, 25/20 color code (Mariner Blue Metallic/Lite Blue). It is mostly original, original paint, interior, like I said basically everything. Is there a specific pic size I need to use because I have pics. I bought it for $500 about 4 months ago. Since then 4 new tires, painted rims black, painted whole front end black, smoked taillights, no exhaust, full tune up, etc. I love it but only drove it twice as it is at my high school auto shop so I can restore it. I expect it back next week in perfect running order. Its not a beauty (well in my eyes it is) but it serves it purpose and gives good practice for what I love. Sorry for the long first post but just wanted to give you some info about me and my truck.

Thank you. Here are some pics when I first got it home. It is alot cleaner now and the biggest rust spot on the whole truck is behind the rear wheel on the pic, I don't know why the seat came out gray:

Thanks guys. I really like old cars and trucks. Can't go wrong with a $500 runner in decent shape and tons of aftermarket support. Oc isn't that bad this time of year, summer is a different story. I have my own yard to work in so im fine.

Welcome aboard! Good to have you here. Are you taking the auto shop class, or just letting them give your truck a good tune-up?

Thank you all. I really like these style trucks. I see some beautiful ones on this website. Yes my high school auto shop. I go there in the mornings then to regular school. I put a new timing chain on, set timing, oil change, new tires, tune up, put replacement panels on, body & steering alignments, brakes, etc. all for the price of parts. I do all my own labor which saves money and teaches me at the same time.

That is the best way to go. Good luck to you, and hopefully your truck will be all that you want it to be before the end of the school year.
