Hello 'bolters. My name is Royce. I live in Louisiana. Most of the time I am working on gas turbines, but right now I am here to get as much help as I can with a restoration project I picked up a while back.

I am currently taking online classes to get a degree so i can make more money. Who doesn't need that, right? When I'm not working or studying I enjoy riding my Harley, working out, hiking with my dog, Mauricio, an English Bulldog that likes to go hiking, but not for long.

About 10 years ago i acquired a 1961 Chevy C-10 "Apache 10" 1/2 Ton Long Wheel Base pickup truck that my grandfather used as a farm truck when i was very young. Long story short, he had a stroke in 1983 and it's been parked in a shed since. I plan to restore it to as close to its original glory as humanly possible. This is going to be a bigger undertaking than i first thought. The truck has severe rusting in the floorboard. The bed is all but gone and even the frame has some severe rusting on the front. So I am here to make a project thread and take in any advice that more experienced people here may have to offer. I will be making a project build thread with pictures. If anyone cares to help out just drop a reply.
