Anyway, I pulled my 65 C10 short step off the stands and drove it today for the first time ever with my freshened up 250ci and brand new rebuilt Camaro T5 transmission. Lot's of fun.
Here's the VIDEO.

Second, We all drive our trucks without doors down here in South Carolina. That's just how it's done. LOL!
