Been a while since 17, now 33 with a new '71

Hey everyone,
Used to be a frequent flyer on here when i had a '68 Custom Cab back when i was 17-20. I sold when I was 20 and regretted ever since. Last weekend I bought a '71 Sport Custom at 33 years of young, from the 2nd owner in Rich Hill, Mo. It has a built 347 Stroker and C6 transmission. New wiring harness, new paint and underbody and only bit of rot is 5" under driver cab, treated with rust converter and painted.

Welcome back to the party. Sounds like a good find. Floor panels are available if your going to replace the rusted out area and is not difficult to do.
