New from AR
« on: August 24, 2012, 09:37:02 am »
My son bought his first truck a couple of weeks ago. It is a 84 C10 shortbed. He is loving it!! Been fixing the little issues you would expect from a 28 year old truck. I spent a few days reading up on here about some of the issues we had to fix and found great info. I have 71 Big block Monte as well. Will post some pictures soon. I work on semis for a living so these old trucks are fun to work on. I had a 79 K10 stepside many years ago and it was a great truck (wish I never got rid of it :( )

Howdy & Welcome from Central California!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

I agree on Father Son projects.  Have some great memories of working on our '84 SWB.  Also on regrets from selling a vehicle you wish you would have kept.
