It was a total spur of the moment thing, I've always liked them and I've been thinking about finding a shop truck style C10 for Home Depot runs and the like.
On July 5th, a friend and I were discussing how cool C10's are and that it would be nice to have one. We saw some nice patina ones at the LA Roadster Show. I started looking on Craigslist. They were either junky with too many cheesy updates or very nice and too expensive. On July 6th, I decided to use Search Tempest to expand my search nation wide. Right away I found this truck listed on the Scottsdale Craigslist. I knew that it was a good find and I started email communications. I bought it the following morning. That afternoon I had it shipped home and I had the truck the following morning.
The last couple of weeks have been a pretty steep learning curve. So far my parts purchase have been good, a couple of bumps in the road, but overall pretty successful.
