I guess im the lucky one. Im 15 and i got a '70 and a '72, the '72 is my daily driver with 350/350 that runs solid and as wideopen said regular rust on cab corners and rockers.

im 14 and my first is a 67 c10 327 4 spd. TONS of rust but very clean and straight body, along with a great running engine. I drove it home and it was almost a 2 hr drive and it did it just fine

I'm 20 now but I got mine at 15. I wish I had some pics on my computer of then. All I have right now are the pics of me working on it. That truck is definitely in better shape than mine was when I got it. As of right now the only original parts on the truck are the cab and bed. I'm finishing the frame and transmission swap right now. have fun with your project!

Great looking project, best of luck!

Wideopenracing15 replied 3 months, 4 weeks ago
That pretty much back burner stuff right now. I just really need to get this truck going. Which lately im just running into problems and dont really have any money to spend. So about this point im starting to second guess myself and wondering if its worth it.

Good luck on the build. As far as the locks go, go down to autozone or ur local parts store. You should be able to get new locks with keys for no more than $15.
