1973 c10 rescue.
My 1st square body rescue happened today. The truck was bought new by a local family and used on the farm until about 10 years ago. The truck was started and driven a short distance two years ago. I was shocked when the previous owner said she'd sell me the truck for $250. I couldn't pull the money out fast enough.

Re: 1973 c10 rescue.
Pulled the old girl in where it's warm, to start getting her running and driving. She has an unusual mix of options and deleted options.

Re: 1973 c10 rescue.
She has the optional upper and lower trim, chrome front bumper, power steering, 350 w/4 barrel, posi rear with optional ratio, 16" rims/tires, cloth seat, but no radio! The original owner was a farmer/rancher in his 60's, so some of the options make sense for how he used the truck.

Re: 1973 c10 rescue.
Someone enlighten me on what a "rear window delete" is? I'm guessing deleting the sliding rear window, but why delete that?

Re: 1973 c10 rescue.
I think for trucks that were destined to have a camper with a pass through, the rear window could be deleted. I remember the pass through was a popular option back then.

Re: 1973 c10 rescue.
I've never seen 5 hole C10 16" rims before. Did they come with the truck when you got it?
What no Rat's Nests to enter in the contest??? That truck couldn't been setting for more than a month! |
