Introducing Myself
« on: April 01, 2017, 04:36:00 pm »
Hello all!

Joining this forum, and wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Nick, I live 30 minutes north of Seattle, WA.  Recently began working on my grandpa's 1978 Big Ten.  He passed away last year and it was the vehicle I learned to drive on as a kid out on his farm back in the 1990s, so I have a bit of sentimental attachment to it.  Hasn't been driven since 2001 - I have some work ahead of me!

It was parked in a field so rats chewed through some wiring.  I've managed to fix that and I pulled out the engine last weekend to do some cleaning and start a minor rebuild. 

I'm sure this forum will be very useful as I begin to get this truck back up and running.  Looking forward to the project!

-Nick

Welcome from Mass.
Sounds like a cool project with some great family history to it.
Any pictures?

Here's an old pic when it was still used, where it was stored, and where it is now!

Finally, a Big 10! That model was just mentioned a couple days ago, that we dont see many out there. Welcome from MA. That truck is worth a full resto.
