Lurker speaks up for first time...
« on: October 04, 2012, 12:17:25 pm »
Hey guys,

Been lurking around for a bit.  Just getting back into trucks again since having sold my first one in high school.  Found a deal I couldn't resist on an old '73 C10 Cheyenne Super about two years ago and I've been slowly reviving her.  I picked her up after she had been sitting for ten years and got it running for a few miles before the engine let loose and I had to rebuild it.  With any luck and some blood, sweat, and tears and I hope to have this one longer than my last one.  I've missed driving these old trucks...   8)

She's really rough around the edges, but has lots of character.

Well, welcome from Central California!   Hope you have plenty of fun with your 'new' old truck!  Nothin like having to roll up your sleeves at the git-go.  Take care of her and she should treat you well.

Welcome from Alaska.  The 73 - 74 trucks are some of my favorites.
