Like a kid with a new toy. Spent the day starting the engine for the 72 C10. Wish I could say I pushed the button and it went right off.
BUT it took awhile to figure out the many thing that were wrong...distributor off 1 tooth. Carb WAY out of adjustment. A module in the distributor was intermittent (now in garbage) 
But in the end it did fire and run. I had it running about 1/2 hour. Never over heated so I feel it was a GOOD day. BUT now I have no more excuses for not doing the body work.

Today back to the body on the C10. The left side is done except for some self inflected scratches. Right side is ready for welding. Maybe tonight Chris has to work late so I might start on it after I get some chow. I replaced the inner rockers too. Can't wait till cab and frame are back together. Then its work on inner and outer fenders and doors.

Charlie..I had to go back to the beginning,,and read right through the whole process again.. That's looking real nice,man.. Awesome job on the cab,too..Have you thought about a color,yet??Yup,,and like the 4sp as well.. Kool.. I did a minor rebuild a few years back,on a early 80's Chev truck,,and the same places,of course.. Bottom cab corners..
