I recently bought my first truck at teh age of 16; its a blue green 1961 Apache C10 running project. Im proud of it too  i dont want to get it on the road yet because i need to do a few reapairs. Main things i have to do are replace the windshield, brakes, tires, two rims, inside of the bed, rebuild the carb, do a little wiring, go through the frame (thick surface rust and grime), and do a little wielding and sanding! Its a big project but i cant wait to get into it! I would GREATLY apreciate any advice or pointers that anyone could throw my way!

Hey, be absolutely sure your truck is safe to drive before you venture out with it. Do you have a V8 in it? Oh and I advise you to post a pic or two.

You WILL remember that truck your entire life, do it right and you will be rightfully very proud. Like Leo said, post some pics for us all to enjoy.
