New Guy From NC
« on: November 11, 2010, 05:01:27 pm »
I always wanted a big chevy truck, been shopping for over a year, and now I finally got one today.  It's a 1976 C20, 454 4bbl 4-speed with low granny, Custom Deluxe with factory air.  The body's nothing to write home about, since it was a true work truck. But the interior is surprisingly nice.  I'm about to get started and as a newbie, I'll probably be bugging you guys all the time for your thoughts.  Time to assess the body and see what's needed there. Wish me luck.
