Hello to everyone never been on a forum before but sure is a lot of info on here.
Just did some trading with my son for this 1973 Sierra Grande/Camper Special K2500. Just getting started on cleaning and detailing and making a to do list .
Gonna redo all of interior but kinda leave exterior for now. But have ideas for exterior later. Definitely will be leaving wood on exterior.

Welcome from Missouri.

One of my favorite colors on these trucks, especially paired with the wood grain.
