Hey all, thanks for the add. my 75 K10 isn't new to me, I've had it for 13 years since that fateful evening in 2013 when emboldened by some choice beverages and pretty pictures on a computer screen, I hit a 'bid' button with a smile on my face. The next morning while sipping my coffee and trying to clear the fog from my brain, I saw a 'Congratulations' email and upon reading further, nearly spit out my coffee when realized I had in fact purchased a vehicle while I was sound asleep, and then had to figure out the logistics of going to pick it up (the same day due to my schedule) about 300 miles away.
A lot has been learned on this truck in the last 13 years of tinkering with my Franken-body... I have been creeping on your guy's forum for hints and tricks on things, but am not much of a people person, so have stayed in the shadows. Figured it was time to make an intro, ask some questions I can't find answers to and maybe even throw in my 2-cents on something I've run across with my truck.

Welcome from Austria.
Couple of friends and I bought a 68 Catalina after too many bottles of Gin in Poland.
Was running and driving like the ad said but only for 50 yards before 3 cylinders opted out.
When we wanted to push it in the shop after 3 yards the brakes seized.
Interior is nice.
