I'm 36 and live in Virginia Beach, Va.  In the middle of restoring a 1974 Chevy Stepside that was bought new by my grandfather back in the day.  I'm originally from Arkansas, I'm retired U S Navy.

Welcome from ND. It's awesome that your pickup has always been in your family.

Thanks for the welcome guys.  It has been a fun project so far, just taking alot longer than I had hoped for.  Trying to balance time between work and projects, and trying to balance a budget between wanting to finish it and take care of all my other toys that I like to play with.
