Those of you that know me well, or knew me a long time a ago, are aware that I drove a '66 Chevy C-10 Pickup in high school. You will also know that there was an accident, and ever since then I've been wanting to fix it again. Well, now I'm starting, only to realize that it was in worse shape than I remembered, or in worse shape than I could let my youthful optimistic ignorance see.

The Plan
The plan is to get it mobile on its own again, meaning repairing the gas tank and putting a new battery in it, and trying to patch up the tires so they hold air for more than three days. I only have one really bad one. After that, I'll work on the engine, which runs great, it's just ugly. It's really the only part of the truck that's worth anything. After that will come the body, interior, and electrical system. Haven't decided what order yet. My goal is to have it at least roadworthy in two years so I can drive it back to my 10-year high school reunion.
