Title: New member from Iowa
Post by: AOB on January 21, 2018, 11:21:27 pm

Hello everyone,

I'm Austin from Iowa, I am 24 years old, and own a 1979 K10 short bed, and an 82 c10 long bed 6cyl, and a 2010 Dodge caliber for my daily. I work for a commercial glass company as my day job, and run my own window tinting business on the side, and I have a graphic design degree as well. I enjoy hunting/fishing, working on vehicles, and mostly just being outside. My dad, brother and I have been working on c10's since I was young, anywhere from a '53 to a 70' and most recently the square bodys. My newest project is the 79 k10 which runs great but needs some cab work. Basically the truck is pretty straight but needs a complete makeover of the floor pans, inner, and outer rockers, cab corners, floor supports and cab mounts. I've only done minimal bodywork and have done cab corners, before but never rockers and floor pans. So if you have any pointers in that area they would be greatly appreciated. Hope to meet some of you soon!
