My 1st vehicle was a 69 c10 short fleetside, i am trying to find it to restore but no luck. i've had 4 others over the last 20 yrs, now with a 92. My passion now is a 64 or 65 to completely restore, frame up..... i was born 12-31-64 so i figure either one will do
i have been told im a little(lot) windy, if you cant tell.....
later

I have a solid lead on a 62 here in town, torn down to restore 6-7 years ago, then moved away from home; also know of two 65-66? here that have no engines, but 4 trannys between the two, and maybe could get both for one bill.... but my wife needs to be involved and storage is tight.... i will get one or the other soon and begin the restoration
thanks ed
