Title: Introducing Myself
Post by: Stucs on April 01, 2017, 04:36:00 pm: Hello all!

Joining this forum, and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nick, I live 30 minutes north of Seattle, WA. Recently began working on my grandpa's 1978 Big Ten. He passed away last year and it was the vehicle I learned to drive on as a kid out on his farm back in the 1990s, so I have a bit of sentimental attachment to it. Hasn't been driven since 2001 - I have some work ahead of me!

It was parked in a field so rats chewed through some wiring. I've managed to fix that and I pulled out the engine last weekend to do some cleaning and start a minor rebuild.

I'm sure this forum will be very useful as I begin to get this truck back up and running. Looking forward to the project!

-Nick

Sounds like a cool project with some great family history to it.
Any pictures?

Here's an old pic when it was still used, where it was stored, and where it is now!
