Farm Field Revival
« on: May 06, 2011, 08:39:41 PM »
My Grandpa gave me this 1982 chevy c10 when I was 15 years old for christmas. He was the orginal and only other owner of the truck. I kept bugging his ear off about letting me fix little things on it and finally he caved and gave it to me for christmas after sitting in his field for about 8 years. After dealing with a lot of hassle with 2 wheel drive and getting stuck in my dirt floor barn, I decided to take this to the next step. Now I have a 3/4 ton frame 4x4 k20 chevy after the last 4 and a half years of hard labor. There is alot left in this build and many more hours of fun. Pictures will post as soon as I figure out how to.

If you load them to photobucket they have an image link that you can copy and paste into your post. I'd give that a shot.

I posted another topic already but the pictures didnt post when I did, so here is my re-post. My 1982 chevrolet c10 given to me by my grandpa for christmas when I was 15 years old. After bugging his ear off about letting me work on it, he finally just gave me the keys and said merry christmas. Since then I have worked my time and money away to make the truck my brain has envisioned since I was 15. 4 and a half years later we are finally painting. So heres the build up until now. I will follow up with more as the build progresses.
