Just could not resist

Looking at CL last night up pops as just listed 68 SWB and seemed like a decent deal on a pretty nice 68

And wouldn't you know it , right in my path as drive home from work ,well by break time at work this morning I had directions

left work a little early to just take a look, it was like some type of C10 force was in my head saying GO SEE GO SEE

I really was not in the market for another C10 , don't know how it happened the owner took my offer. So I will be picking her up in the AM .

Am I crazy or is this normal ?

Nice truck , entirely normal you bought that. If you hadn't you should have questioned your sanity.

They are 6 lug rally wheels from an 80's 4x4. Thats what I run on my 70. I found a guy on Ebay making vinyl centers for those caps, so mine have red bow ties.

I was simply observing that it appeared to have 6 lug centers after reading where it had been converted to 5 lug. NO offense meant.
