My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
 

Hi everyone,
I'm 15 and I just bought my first truck, a 1972 Chevy C10. I'm planning to restore it with my dad, but cannot do much as of now because we are about to move houses. Our new house will have a shop (:metal:) so I'll have a place to put the truck indoors. It needs a new tailgate, a new grille, a new front left fender, and a bunch of other things, but it is very mechanically sound. It has a 350 in it with a three speed automatic on the column. Anyhow, here are some pictures.

Hey Everyone,

It snowed today, but I still got the pictures of the truck and here they are.

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
 

Seeing snow makes me hate Florida even more.

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
 

Haha, it doesn't snow much here in Eugene, but for the last couple of years, it has for some reason.....so much for this "global warming" garbage.

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
 

You need to keep up with the news, young man. It's now "climate change". As if the climate has never changed before.

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
 

It's funny how that works....when they don't know what's going on, they tag it, "climate change." :lol:

Re: My First Truck--1972 Chevrolet C10 Build
