c10 project
Picked up a 1 owner California Truck, Any ideas? Leave the way it is, or full restoration? Step sides worth anything?

Re: c10 project
Nice truck,did you take the wrap around bumper off?
My opinion...Fix any terminal rust, get it safe,give it a good clr bath and a good wax or clear and drive it. Oh and welcome take some time and look around and learn this site it will be a life saver to you truck

Re: c10 project
Is that a NY truck? I mean it's still got fenders on it.
 Oh yeah, stepsides are worth something. Like the others I think you should clean it up and repair/refresh the important things like brakes and tires and drive it a while until you get a feel for how you should proceed with it.

Re: c10 project
Welcome to the board - nice truck. You're going to get some great opinions with a start like that. Lowered , stock , full resto , all great ideas. I have lowered , glad I didn't cut anything as it could be raised to stock again , as I age that sounds like an interesting plan. A truck that clean could be with you for a while , as the rust belt doesn't have a lot to work with.
