Hello all, I am new to the site and just wanted to introduce myself.. My first truck as a kid was my great grandpa's 73 Chevy short wide.. after 20 years of looking I found a 79 Chevy short bed in unbealable condition so I'm in the process of fixing it up and plan on keeping it about 90% original.. thx in advance for any help.. Don

Thx for welcoming me all of Ya'll, I failed to mention I'm from Central Texas.. I was working for DirecTV and went to this gentleman's house for a service call , he was so far off the main road he had to meet me so I could follow him to his house and there it was..lol..
