Hubby goes fishin'....
and catches a '70 K10. Well...not all the way home. He couldn't load it on the trailer he had, so he and his buddy checked the gas, said it was good. Fiddled with the thing and finally it started. They drove it to the beach-house (about 30 miles away) doing 70 mph. When they got it to the beach-house, they dug and found out it had been registered to Jerry last year (hubby thought it had been sitting and not used in over 5 years).
So...he caught the big one all right. And best of all...it was FREE. Yes....I said free! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Hubby goes fishin'....
I'm just wondering"What test line he was using?"I mean I may try to go fishing and I wouldn't want to go too light.

Re: Hubby goes fishin'....
Cool glove box sticker. I also love the organizer around the transfer case lever.

Re: Hubby goes fishin'....
Some sandpaper, little sheetmetal, some bondo, and a gallon of gray primer, that old girl would be a pretty decent beater/bomber!
Good find for free. Whats it got for a motor? |
