Hello everyone!

My name is Carmen, I’m happy to be here and hopefully gain some knowledge!

I recently purchased a 73’ C20 Cheyenne to restore in my brothers honor. He passed away last April 2020. He was a square body lover and born in 1973. This felt like the perfect way to honor him.

This will be my first ever restore and I’m basically doing it alone with some remote help from my dad who lives in Michigan. I live in Southern California. This should be interesting to say the least.


By the way... the truck runs and drives....so half the battle is already over.

Welcome to the group!  There are many very knowledgeable people in here.  I find people are generally responsive and respectful, regardless your experience level.  Nice truck, and cool way to honor your brother!

Welcome from AL! Best of luck on your build. Greatest challenge will be rust repairs! If you do not have a welder, get one and practice.
