South FL 67' Build Thread

Hello to all, My name is Armando (friends call me Mandy for short) Last week I finally picked up my first C10 from a real cool guy out in Bement, IL. Thank You Shawn.
This thread here has a little of the story behind the process of actually getting the truck in my possession.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=533163

With the help of members Al and Raul, we searched for quite a while looking for the right truck.. Originally I was looking for a truck to do a full frame off resto, but shortly realized I wasnt going to have the time, nor the space for such a project at the time. So I went with a truck I can drive in the meantime, and customize as I go along.

The truck who still remains nameless is a

1967 SWB C10 Small Rear Window Fleetside Farm Truck

I plan to keep as much of the original 1967 stuff and look as I possibly can while adding a few resto mods like Air Ride Suspension, Big Brakes, A/C, PS and a few other goodies to come.
For the time being.. I just want to get her running nice and solid. Tighten up any loose ends and just enjoy the ride for now.. Im looking forward to this build AND especially to the journey along the way. Being my first C10, Im sure I will have lots of questions and want to THANK YOU ALL in advance for all your help and support thru this great website/family.
