names Ian. Im 25, married, have a two year old son. I work part time in insurance, will be going to school this fall to get my auto mechanic degree. My wife picked me up a 1966 Chevy c-10 fleetside longbed for fathers day last year, she has a 250 Inline six with "rebuild" at 76,500 miles with 87,000 on the odometer. This will be my first rebuild. I was raised around a gear head father, watched him hop up a 57 belair 2dr, 64 Impala and a 87 gmc. Still remember sitting in the engine bay handing him tools and holding the lights! I plan on keeping her pretty original except i plan on beefing up the inline. will be a fram up restore.. Anyways hope to get some good advise as well as input wether its positive or negative..
Cheers! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 9 |

Very nice of your wife to get you a truck like that, maybe your young lad can hand you stuff when you work on it. Be sure to ask if you need any help. Good luck.

I had to move her 234 miles west to Beloit, KS on my father in-laws farm have her sittin under a barn, he mainly helps hold my parts tray and place bolts and parts in baggies for me. still waiting on my transmission jack, and 2ton omega engine crane i just ordered!!!!
