Thumbs up always a project truck................my squarebody C10 (pile of parts) build.....

so this is retired life!!

Not exactly sure how this one is going to turn out(you know how it goes) but I aquired another C10 squarebody to wrench on for the next few years!

Starting point: my garage cabinets are filled with the new and spare parts I've managed to save and a parts truck I recently purchased. Luckily, I "was" able to hold on too some decent stuff during our move to Las Vegas 2 years ago but not nearly as much as I would have liked. Back then I had 2 squarebodies, a C20, a C10 and a separate rust free cab (BlownChevy and I picked that bad boy up in Ventura/thanks homie).........but then..........still being on active duty and attending TOPGUN in Fallon Nevada while my wife was selling our home in Los Angeles and buying our retirement home in Las Vegas and well ****....most things "project related" didn't make the move. Busy times for sure!

so project #1 is gaining some more usable space in the garage! I'll have to get creative here......because the C10 sits in one bay and I need to provide room for another car to park overnight.........it's going to be a challenge for sure!........more to follow

so that's it in a nutshell, details and pics coming soon!

yeah, it was just a shitty situation as far as project trucks go, we sold the house(the one you visited) and had to get everything out over a weekend while my graduation ceremony was on the previous Friday in Fallon! Fantastic family decision/move.........not so fantastic for the stockpile
