Hi Everyone.
Just got approved to post here, so here I am. I just bought a 1977 C10 1/2 ton short box 350/350 and I'm just waiting to take delivery on it early next month.
I see from your posts that there's a lot of knowledgeable people here.:metal:
I hope to be sharing pics soon.
:chevy:

Welcome! If you have pics of what you bought, share them - we're all pic whores. ;)

Re: New to the Forum
 

I do have a couple of pics, just not sure how to post them.
I guess I figured it out. LOL

Welcome! Let's see some pics of your new ride!

These were taken where the truck was when I bought it. Hopefully I'll be able to trailer it here April 4th or 5th
She's not much to look at now, but I'm in love. lol

welcome. Your bed is off a 81-87. The 73-78 trucks had a round gas cap. 79-87 has the square gas door.

Re: New to the Forum
 

Ya, It's a later model bed. But that's okay. I would have changed it anyway because I like the gas doors. Good catch though. You know your trucks. :)

Welcome to the board. Looks like your off to a great start.

Change the wheels and paint it you'll have a pretty nice truck.The only real limit of what you can do to these trucks is your wallet.Is it going to be your daily driver or more of a weekend toy?

Re: New to the Forum
 

Looks a lot more solid than mine did when i bought it! Only thing i regret about mine. You're WAY ahead starting with a rust free truck. Are you going to go with the trim on the side?

This is going to be a daily. I'm disabled so I can't really afford to to do anything to costly to it. Build a motor, drop it a bit and paint is about it.

Re: New to the Forum
 

No trim. I like the look of a shaved body. I'd like to go with a 3 tone. Burgundy with medium and dark gray accents. Maybe a blue pearl in the clear coat. Just depends on what I can afford.
I was lucky finding a 'no rust' body. The guy I got it from had just replaced the fenders, hood and bed. Plus he threw in 2 new fuel tanks, an extra tail gate, a new rear roll pan and the original hood. All for $1,350

Welcome aboard. Lots of good knowledge on here and good folks too. Not alot of condescending or negatively. Be warned, you will learn alot that will save you some $, but you will see alot more ways to spend what they save you. It is an addiction so remember that your hanging with other addicts.
