Hello Everybody,

New to the forum. My first truck back in the late 80's was a 1973 Chevy with a 350 and an automatic transmission. It was a fleet truck auctioned off by Union Pacific Railroad and was a specialty bright yellow color. I loved that truck but I eventually sold it to my mechanic in the mid 90's after I purchased a new S10.

I recently bought a 1976 Sierra 1500 with full time 4WD. It is a beautiful GM Skyline Blue on the inside and the body has been painted over with a gross purple color. Skyline is my favorite color and it has the options I was looking for so I overlooked some rust that will need to be taken care of.

This will be my summer project so I hope you don't mind if I ask lots of questions in the future. :)

Cipriano
