New Guy from Northern Illinois
« on: January 05, 2009, 10:54:27 PM »
Hi guys my name is Shae and I have a 1979 Bonanza C10 'Big Ten' 2wd pickup i bought for 300 bucks and it runs and drives awesome.  It has 89xxx miles on it and I have put about 600 total into the truck so far.  A new dimmer switch, air filter, oil change, fuel filter, radiator hoses, and an aftermarket radio.  It not in the greatest shape but it is pretty solid.  I have some plans for the truck is to redo the suspension(new shocks and such).  Also get rid of most of the rust on the truck by buying new panel pieces and getting it repainted black.  I want to get some black steel rims with 31-34 (havent decided) size tires.

I will post pictures up asap when I take some.  The pictures won't do it no worthy.  ;D

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
