New toy, 78 C10
 

Going to pick this up tomorrow. 78 2wd shortbed. A/C, tilt, AM/FM Cassette, 54,000 original miles, original interior, original paint, etc. Should be a fun little driver! Its gonna need a stock or 73-74 grill and an altitude adjustment with the quickness! I am WAAAAY beyond stoked!

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Nice! Welcome back to the scene over here. You plan on doing the usual coys/drop?

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Drop yes, Coys, probably not. Thinking billet!

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

WOW! Nice ride! Agree with the grill change out.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Nice truck. Looks like a little SOS pad on that gear shifter would do wonders. Can't wait to see the changes. Good score.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

WOW. Very nice! Who did you buy it from? Is it the little-old-lady owner kind of story or what? That thing is super clean.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Score, I found one just like it but the guy won't sell. Just letting it rust away in his yard.

Original owner drove it on weekends kind of stuff. Grandson got it when he passed and stuck it in a barn. A guy found it, talked him out of it. It was sitting a few years. Rebuilt the engine, trans, rear end, all brakes etc.... Now he wants a crew 4x4 so we are trading.

Wish my '78 looked that good....:waah:

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Good find. The crew was going to be sweet, but this one will be too. I say be tough and run slots instead of billet, though.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Thanks Jeramy. Cant wait. I just sold my car trailer so I need to get looking for a wheel and tire combo and some drop components!

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Hurry up man, I have a car show coming up!:lol: There will lots of sqaures there.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

I have to decide on the wheels. Might drop it on the 8 inch rallys for a while until i decide on wheels.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Looks good Josh! Is this a local truck?

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Near Charlotte.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Nice ride Josh. No more cummins crew swb?

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Its in the garage at home. Might just simplify and sell the Cummins truck, finish this one and just enjoy driving one for a while. I enjoy spending time with my wife and little one playing t-ball and all so much, it'll be nice to just not have a "project" for a while.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

I'm trying to get some of those projects done before child #2 gets here so I can do the same.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Just drop the cummins in this truck! That will give you some power.

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

Well beyond stoked, I'll bet. Nice score. How much of a loss would it be if a Stole it?

Re: New toy, 78 C10
 

OK, so original interior and paint is true, not 54K original miles. 154,000 miles actually. Thats all good, runs like a top! However, Craigslist strikes again, kinda. I still made the trade and drove it 1 1/2 hrs home at 75mph with zero issues. There is some rust in the front cab supports and floor above the cab supports. Inner fenders rusted and some in the front lower fenders as well as a dented tailgate. Not a big deal but was undisclosed none the less. I am going to go through the mechanicals and do the front brakes this weekend. Pics Saturday hopefully.
