Howdy!
My name is Grey and I hail from Marysville, California (about 30 min North of Sacramento).
My first pickup was a '77 Scottsdale heavy half, step side, 4spd/4x4 in Root Beer brown. My dad purchased it new before I performed a frame of restoration of the truck, at age 16.
Now, I'm back in the game with the truck I've always wanted. It's a '74 Custom Deluxe 4x4, SB, fleetside, 350/350, NP203 :whymewhyme: sporting orange and white. "Orange Julius Cesar" (not a typo). She's completely solid other than the passenger fender under the battery tray. The oil and grease covering the undercarriage has pretty much protected against any corrosion…JK..but seriously.
I picked her up for $2500 bucks because the owner said she didn't run (but I knew better). I brought it home and bypassed the ignition with a push button and less than ten bucks. Check me out in my new pickup!….then the motor let loose after a couple thousand miles.
Sooo…here I am putting the finishing touches on the new engine I built for it. I plan to go all the way through the truck over time. I hope you guys can participate along the way. I already like the vibe I get here compared to other sites. Thanks!

I apologize for not having more pics.

Welcome to GMSB !!!

I once lived in Marysville and Olivehurst for a very short time. It was with a gf's family. Was hoping to make it work but nahhh, her family..... nuff said about that, I went back to So Cal shortly thereafter. So does Yubadirt have anything to do with Yuba City over the bridge from Marysville?

Thanks guys!

Yes it kinda does. Yuba City, the neighboring Yuba County (where Marysville is) and the nearby Yuba river (with great fishing BTW). Just kinda sums it up, I guess!
