By the way, the 60's was the most recent decade that wasn't almost totally forgettable, except for the music of the 70's and early 80's.

Amen to that, Bliss! I was born in '60 (oh dear, I just gave up my age, didn't I?), and as far back as memory allows I have been a car fanatic. I'd always loved the 67-72 C10's; my dad took delivery of one of the first K5 Blazers in TX back in '69. He taught me to drive in that truck when I was just 9 years old...what a wonderful memory...saw my first Cobra (an original) that same year and
fell in love!
As far as this truck goes, the full frame-off nut 'n bolt resto with shaved drip rail, shaved door handles, fuel tank relocation to bed, etc will run just shy of 20k. I'd love to have done some of the work myself but, sadly, I have neither the time nor the expertise. I am merely a weekend tinkerer!
