Kinda been looking around on here for a couple weeks before I bought my truck and joined here. I now am the proud owner of a baby blue 1964 C10 Stepside shortbox, and since I've owned it (less than a week) I've found several things on it that have me trying to find a place to start. It's in need of a frame-off, but it's not too awful bad, I don't think. Frame needs a little help, it tends to dogtrack a little to the right, but it drives straight and easy. Disc brakes already on the front, but they're soft, rear fuel tank (only 12 gallon), and a tilt column from a 70's truck. I'd say she's about 90% solid, maybe better, but she's far from ready for paint, if ya know what I mean :P
This has been a dream of mine for ever since I can remember, and the wife's even seeming to be happy for me about it. My background is more construction/medical (Army medicine), but I've been a tinkerer and hobby rebuilder on a lot of friends' projects over the years. I live on Fort Riley in post housing, have a garage, but it's small :[ so I have to make do. On the bright side, we do have the hobby shop on post for the bigger jobs, but I'm going to try to do as much as I can at home.
I'm an opinionated SOB, but I'm not afraid to listen to those who know more than I do. I also have a sense of humor, but people tell me it's a little cynical and a touch dry
Anyways, it's nice to have a home site to come get all this nice info, and I've already come up with a few questions to post.
