Title: Hello everyone
Post by: The Stick on February 02, 2017, 02:09:35 pm

What's up everyone, my name is Nick. 3 years ago I bought a 84 c10 short bed i6 250. A little about myself ,In 2004 while high school I had a random stroke at work that left me paralyzed (I was 17 years old at the time). The truck has been a motivational tool to keep me going and to prove to myself that just because I am in wheelchair doesn't mean I can't build something myself.

The truck is rough but it's a project for me to learn on. I replaced the floor, kick panels, inner and outer rockers and kick panels both driver and passenger side, and cab supports. It went fairly good. I still need to paint and seam seal the welds.

I plan on making some videos/ pictures to document the progress and post them here on the forum to either help a fellow builder or even to motivate others to get back into the garage and keep their project going.

Thanks everyone and looking forward to sharing my build with you guys and girls.
