This is my recently finished 79 already started on an 84 ton.

That's a great looking truck! And that '75-'76 grille trim sure is an uncommon sight these days too.

Mr. Clean is an extremely avid automotive enthusiast, as are all the regulars and even irregulars on this site. You do have a very pretty truck, and I, as I'm sure many, would love something like that if it were more proximal, and maybe it is for a certain member or members in the Piedmont, Mid-Atlantic, or eastern Industrial Midwest areas. I think it's simply important for us, increasingly so with tenure, to make sure that information and experience are the chief commerce of this site. Some people do join simply to attempt to liquidate parts or vehicles, and their presence and contribution immediately fizzle out once they succeed or fail, which I find transparent, and I know others do, too, and grow increasingly tired of it. I won't suggest that you just came here to try to sell stuff because that would be a premature and unfair judgement, and you're clearly an adept builder/restorer with a lot of stuff on your hands. The forum is really what you make it. Personally, I like interacting with people who like the same stuff I do. I like to share what I learn, know, or think I know with people who haven't learned it yet, and I like to learn from the folks who are more advanced than me in skill and knowledge. I'm not trying to detract from your thread or ride a high horse, but I'm just saying that whether someone posts about the half a Datsun they own or the two airplane hangars full of antique cars and trucks they own, the collective mindset of the forum is pretty uniform. And I do hope you benefit from and contribute to the forum, as many members do daily. You have a lot of nice stuff to share. Welcome.

Thanks for the nice comments on the truck, you are right I liked the 75 Silverado grille much better than the 79.

Welcome Old barn auto. I have been a member of this site since it's beginning. When the second question asked is "How do I sell something" usually means they are here to sell and leave. If you would have started off with a little back ground on yourself, like you just posted might have had a different comment. The members on this site are like family. Love some, and not so much others, but still would drink a beer, and stomp some ass with any of them. So once again welcome come in ******** around, most of us have a sense of humor and have thick skin. We are all huge pic ******, like to see progress of any kind, and like to here ways on "not to do things" it sounds like you have some good experience on building trucks. Hopefully you hang out with us, and become the family.

By the way good looking truck...to bad it is a round eye...lol. That is a big topic around here. I'm a firm believer "square body....square eye"

Thanks you for the welcome to the site, and as I told some that yes I do build chevy trucks but also love these trucks. I would never tell anyone what to do I just give my advice, I have been doing trucks and cars for so long that I hope to keep some people from making any of the mistakes I have made cause it's all time, money, and aggravation being avoided. I will try harder to figure all pic and post out in the future. I do have a couple of projects coming up.
