Hello to Everyone. Glad to be here!

This is my first C10, had a 1954 Chevy 3100 prior to this build.

Hoping to learn a lot and help out when I can.

Re: New Member from New Jersey

Thanks, here are a couple of before and after pictures:

- I compounded and polished the whole truck - the paint came back nice
- The rockers, doors, fenders etc were all solid - nothing to do there
- I sanded down the wood bed and the metal strips
- Painted the wood a high gloss black and use a marine poly clear coat
- Painted the metal strips
- Replaced the old tires with Cooper Discoverer AT3s
- Replaced the fuel tank, fuel line, fuel pump and carburator
- Replaced the distributor with a HEI and replaced the brake lines and pads
- Lastly, I had a local speed shop install the Hurst shifter - removed the column

Worked on it over the winter in the garage, took 4 months.
