Welcome from Calif. I think your truck is pretty just the way she sits. Enjoy working on her, shes been giving her whole life, its her turn for a little TLC. Take lots of pics.

And I'll add a welcome from Southern California! That's a great looking truck to start with. Looks like it's almost ready to drive. A lot of us are jealous on that one...

Well we made it back home without any issues. You can't ask for more than that. I even had my boy help unload it and parked it in the barn. Now I start collecting pieces and work like hell on the car already in the garage.

If that is your "garage" I am guessing you won't run out of room soon.

I wish that was my garage. This was me loading at the place I bought the truck in Dallas. Man, they had some nice rides in there. 70 Silverado, 69 Camaro, 70 Challenger,.... No, my garage is a simple 3 car attached that I use two bays for projects and one bay for parking my daily driver. I have a small barn out back to park the projects in waiting.
