It's a pretty straight and rustfree California truck. A 1971 C10 with 350/350 drivetrain. It has factory A/C that seems to be working.

It looks like it had somewhat of an older restoration done. It's been repainted (poorly) inside and out, and looks like it has some new interior parts, and newer bed wood and metal strips.

Right now it has carb issues and a badly leaking trans pan, and possibly a few electrical gremlins, but it made the 1.5 hour drive home with no major issues other than the carb flooding.

My #1 priority was finding something that wasn't rusted, adn this is about the most solid vehicle of that era I could find. I plan to solve the minor mechanical issues and then drive it this summer to decide which direction to take the project.
