Hello all, from up high in the commie state of California.

Stopping in here to pay respect to the forum and introduce myself.

I own an automotive electrical restoration up here. Been wiring since 1986, and am very good at it. I've had a few C10s , but I just picked up this gem up in the sticks in Oregon.

74 shortbed. Cab/wiring unmolested / rust free 'most cab complete. Notched, new cell, exhaust done, full roller Blueprint 383, new wheels/tires... just needs "finished"

Have hydroboost on order to handle the brakes, plus all the little BS parts... Deciding what I wanna do for the transmission. It has a TH350 in it that 'they' knew nothing but they put a 2500 TC in it...‍

The truck was an original manual and pedal is still hung (I have all linkage) I'm just not feeling dropping the $ on a T56 atm...

Anyway, I'm gonna go searching for ideas!

Thank you! I was looking our that way to move, hard when I'm a year out with clients cars to build. At least in my area is the most conservative in this state. Prices / taxes / laws! That's another rant

Believe me, I've been in the middle of it for many years. Unless you're talking about the forum

Welcome from your neighbor to the east, I’m over here in Susanville.

That’s a good looking truck, looks like a lot of the expensive stuff is already done

Tennessee is a great place to live.

That's why I jumped on it! If I told the price I got it for, people would never believe it..
