Re: got myself a 71!
My Dad bought a 1971 C-10 in Oct. 1978. He put it in my name and on my ins. policy. 30 days later he passed away.
I'm still driving this truck today. Congratulations on your new ride. It's a beautiful truck. Welcome to the forums.

Re: got myself a 71!
Looks sweet! Your dad is apparently quite generous and thinks a lot of you! I really hope you show him how much you appreciate it. And by the way, Welcome to the board!
