well i have been searching for a little while know for a nice needs nothing driver so i can restore my 68 k10 the right way the first time, and i was preferably looking for a 71-72 and i was hoping to find one that looks like my dads 71 custom deluxe k10, well today when i got home from school my dad asked me how much would i would offer him for his truck (which is the whole reason why i love 67-72's) i knew he only thought his truck was worth about 5 grand, so i offered him 5 grand, he told me he has to talk to my mother and then i will probably be able to buy it. this truck has been my dream truck for as long as i can remember, i learned how to work on trucks on this truck, my dad finished his restoration of it about a week before i was born, and he started restoring because he found out he was going to be a father. i have so much history in and around this truck, i am so proud that he offered it to me weather or not i get it at all

bellow is a picture of the truck about a year after he finished restoring it so that would be 92, the truck isnt in as good of shape anymore, its has trouble starting sometimes, the dash pad the armrests and the seat have seen better days, and the paint has gotten bubbles and the tailgate is shot, but its still not bad for a daily driven (up till 5 years ago) on a 18 year old frame off


this is a picture of the truck the first time its been outside in 5 years, it was taken this summer


this is me with the truck in one of my senior pictures


this is a picture of me and my dad sitting in his truck when i was 2 or 3


my family is incredible and i love them to death, and im honored that i will be getting the desoto for sure when i graduate this spring, and that i was even asked if i wanted to buy my dads truck
