Newbie from VA
« on: May 24, 2011, 02:28:10 pm »
Hey yall, I'm Scott and I bought an 86 K10 Scottsdale about 2 years ago to use as nothing more than a yard truck to haul stuff to the landfill and the occasional ATV to a nearby riding area.  Since then I've really come to enjoy the truck and just love the classic shape of it.  I am now making plans to restore it and have found a lot of great info on this site.  This will be my first restoration project so I'm sure you'll hear a lot from me. Now I just need to come up with something to haul the trash...maybe my wife's Escalade?  ;D

     Welcome from California.  Just make a trailer to match your truck.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
