1972 Orange Crush build
 
So I got this truck a little over a year ago. I was always a BMW guy. I have owned my last BMW for 16 years and it was my first car. from the time I could drive till now I have owned 4 BMW's and have done extensive mods to them all. In the end I would normally build them up to flip to throw the money at a new one and some mods for my original car. All the BMW's were between 1985-1990 from 325i, 325e, 325ix, 318. all the E30 style.

So this leads me to the C10. I sold all my toys and decided I needed a muscle car. Everyone has 68/69 camaro's and i love that car it is one I will own one day. The other cars I liked were way two much money (gto, gtx, charger ex...) The only other car I have loved was the C10 ever since watching Dazes and Confused. So this is my truck story so far.

1972 C10 SWB
Engine 383 Stroker

ECE 4.5/6.5 drop
