New from NC
« on: September 30, 2010, 06:22:05 pm »
Hello everyone. I came hear to read and learn. I drive an '02 Silverado but I'm looking to sell it and buy a '73-'87 as a daily driver.

Friendly advice when looking for one of these trucks:  Put rust damage as #1 on your list of things to avoid!  In hindsight I would have rather bought a truck with no drivetrain and no electrical system than fix this much rust!
