Intro - 71 Fleetside C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello everyone, starting a restore project on the first vehicle (4 wheels) I ever purchased, which was back in 1975 ($1500-).

It is a '71 Chevy C10 Fleetside. Always liked the truck so just hung on to it. It's not been driven since the 80's and shows it, yes it has seen a few Michigan winters, lol. Hope to have a nice looker and driver, am not looking at entering any auto shows with it.

Anyway, I'm starting the process so will thumb through some threads to look for ideas and whatnot. Getting most parts and supplies from LMC and Brothers.

Thanks for welcome, the more I read the more I see a restore project is a matter of time and how deep your pockets are ;-)
