I Keep Getting Older, They Just Stay The Same Age.

Trucks that is! 8)

Checking in and introducing myself as a first timer here. Just picked up a Fremont built 1973 C10 shortbox for my son's first rig who will be of driving age in a year. Needed a project truck to get started and to teach the young lad some trade skills that are much needed and lacking with this latest crop of rugrats.

The truck body is straight as an arrow and zero rust but the 350 power plant is on the tired side so we'll be starting there with our laundry list. Looking forward to learning as much from the group as my son and I take this journey together this next year. Woohoo!

Welcome to the site 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 forgot to add a pic of my son's new ride. This was taken the day we picked her up.
