Alright, I've decided it's time to start my own build thread. It'll be another one of those "slow builds" as I can only work on it as time/funds permit.
Background: I sold my 1988 GMC and decided I needed to lay off of the projects for a while. About a month later A friend of mine took a 1971 Chevy short step as a down payment on a Tahoe he was selling. He knew I wouldn't be able to say no so he offered it up for 1500.00 which I still feel was a good deal. My intention was to fix a few bugs and drive it for a while as it was tagged inspected and streetable but we all know how that goes...
I only have a couple pics before the work started.
