Hello from CA

[Rocketir]

Learned how to drive on a 1968 C10 Old Blue. 3 on the tree with a 307. Always liked the shape, and since my oldest is going away to college soon, I figured I needed something to keep me busy. So I decided to buy a clean 67-72. Something with not much body issues, as I like to do the mechanical stuff way better than body work. Found this pretty clean 1969 3/4ton GMC long bed Camper Special. Currently its an 8 lug w/leaf spring, and I would like to change things out for 5 lug pattern all disc brake with some drop spindles in the front and 6.0 liter LS. I like the way the short box looks so that will probably end up happening as well. Thank you for the add.
There is a ton to read here and learn. I am going to need some advice on all of this, so thank you all in advance. Lets start this adventure.
Jesse.
