First post and introduction

[76Bluec10]

I’ve been a member for a while, figured it was time to introduce myself.
I’m from the Cumberland county area in North Carolina. Been married for 33yrs.a father of 3 and papa of 5. I’m a rolloff driver for GFL.
I have a 76 Scottsdale long bed 2wd.
It’s just something for me to play around with and wrench on.

Let me welcome you with a neighborly Harnett County hello! Thanks for sharing the pics of the '76 as well. I see Cumberland Co. once a week usually with my Driver's Ed route. What part are you in if you don't mind me asking?

Roger that. I don't get that far south usually. I may take them off exit 49 and down NC53 to White Lake occasionally though. I have a '76 High Sierra K15 that I am hoping to get around to fixing soon. I've had it for over 30 years and it is definitely in need of restore. Again, welcome in and keep some pics coming of your ride.

It’s a mostly an original truck with some typical rust but nothing to major
Has had 1 repaint with original colors and scheme. Seat has been reupholstered.
I have built a decently stout 350 for it and preformed some trans modification just firm it up and get that second gear chirp. Will do a trans rebuild when it gives up the ghost.
Plans are to lowering it 3”/5” with a complete suspension rebuild and run a 10” wide rim in the rear and either 7” or 8” up front with factory dog dish caps.
Has 2.5” exhaust with Blackwidow venom series mufflers
Have a ton of plans and upgrades but all in a due time.
