Title: Hi everyone from Akron Ohio
Post by: grinder1989 on December 16, 2008, 10:24:58 pm

I just wanted to say hi.  I'm the proud owner of a 1974 Chevy C10.  I bought it for $400 and it's been my favorite truck ever since.  It's pretty rusted out and has bull horns bolted on the hood but it has yet to start up every day.  I has a 350 and a turbo 350.  It's stock for the most part except for a little engine work.  I installed bucket seats and a fresh, rebuilt 350 will be going in it in a few weeks.  It's an on going project for me and I'm working hard to get all the body work done but I hope my $400 truck comes out nice enough to take it to some local car shows without getting laughed at.  :D

Maybe when I fix it up haha.  It's got one too many dents from stressful nights in the garage lol.  I guess I could get some.  I have a lot of metal to weld in.

Ok ok....I'll get some tomorrow if I have some daylight.  The good news is I have solid doors, a tailgate, and two brand new front fenders.  Some cab corners, rockers and floor pans and I'll be ready for paint...And I'll need a new bed lol.
