1980 C10 Silverado
« on: March 05, 2019, 12:01:56 PM »
Here's my new (to me) truck, an '80 long bed Silverado. Picked it up last week, after lots of searching and years of wishing I had an old beater truck. It belonged to the father of the seller, who was selling the truck to fix up a Cadillac also left to him by his dad.

Runs and drives great, original engine and transmission. Little bit of rust in the floor (very small holes at the front of both door plates) and behind the back wheels, and the trim was long gone. My plan, since I have almost no budget, is to refresh the mechanicals first and worry about the body down the road, keeping everything as close to stock as I can. It'll be a long time before I can do a full restoration, but that's where I'd like to end up someday.

Here she is (and yes, I've already started taking the black spray paint off the grill and headlight surrounds):
