Hello from metro Detroit. I’m 65 in June and retired/disabled. I’ve been on forums for 15 years but I’m new to this one. I’ve owned my C10 for about 2 1/2 years it’s a 454-4bbl rebuilt 30k ago. The lower 8 inches of my back is a mass on solid bone, screws and rods. It lets you walk etc, but wrapped up in a haze of pain. It probably had a lot to do with the 200+ parachute drops I did during the Vietnam war. Anyway, I searched for 2 years to find a nearly rust free example. It came from Colorado. Now I am doing what I can to make it better. I joined up to get a little Squarebody time with like thinkers. She is in the shop getting painted at the moment. My dumb bastard son in law slammed it into a cement freeway divider in January. He wasn’t hurt, the truck wasn’t too bad. It somehow didn’t even break the hood or windshield.
