Hello from The Lone Star State. Picked up a 1975 C10 short box a few weeks back, named Left Overs…on account, I get most of my parts from my son’s trucks when they get new crap…cheaper that way. The truck was from a mechanic buddy of mine that had too many projects…so here we are. It’s been sitting since 2001. Light surface rust for most of the under side, body is fine, but the hood does have some cancer. The front right head light and parking light wires were chewed up by mice or rats. Odometer says 46k so probably 146k. The engine, small block, looks good but needs some tying in, and brakes are gone. So, engine, suspension/ brakes and then we’ll see. Looking forward to learning from trial and error and of course, from y’all.

Welcome from Austria. Unusual color combination, is that custom or was it an available option?
