Hello everyone let me start out by introducing myself, my name is Faris this is my first build. I bought this truck with my first paycheck 8 years ago. She is a 1976 Chevy K20 (my dream truck). I wanted to restore her when I first got her however I didn't have the time or money to do so between high school, Football and wrestling, work, and then I enlisted in the navy right after I graduated. I have just finished up with my contract and I'm back home for good working a good job at a plumbing station here in my hometown and now I want to finally drive my dream truck.

Honestly the best way is really an image hosting site like photobucket. Allows good size photos you can see.

I am on day 6 of the build. I have the interior stripped out, the motor out, the front clip off, the transmission and driveshaft off, I have to take the cab and bed off. My truck bed floor is so rusted looks like someone has been shooting bird shot through it
