Chevy C10 Buildup - Auto Meter Gauges

But, if I was going to go to Texas, I figured I might as well go all the way to Tennessee for a truck show. What better show to go to than Relaxed Atmosphere's All-Star Event?

After all, when the plan was put into motion, the truck didn't even run and we were leaving in a few short weeks. This is the Pickup Fix-Up Tour.
