Title: New Kid From Maryland
Post by: heavychevy91 on November 17, 2009, 07:47:58 am
Hey I'm Tim, I live in Columbia, MD, about 20 min outside of Baltimore, I currently go to school at Howard Community College and work part time at a hardware store in Bethesda. This is my 1986 Chevy C10.

Sorry the pictures arnt the best my camera is screwed up.

Here it is before the lift, I still have those stake sides I made for it I just need to sand them down and re seal them once I get an in bed tool box.

When I got this tuck at the end of march it was in decent condition, it ran and drove, but the passenger side bedside was all kinds of messed up and needed to be replaced and so did the cab corner on the same side. Also the front bumper was all dented up and the gas tank was rotted out, carb gummed up, motor mounts gone. But with a little TLC its where it is now. I also lifted it 3” because I hated the stock stance of it. I put big block springs n the front and 3” blocks in the rear. I still need to get my new passenger side bedside and cab corner painted but it’s a work in progress. Not bad for $500
