Re: The story on your truck
Well
My truck started its life in 1984 build in St. Louis, MO as a Black Chevrolet C-30 Bonus Cab Dually 1-Ton with a J Code 6.2 Diesel. in July 1984 It was at the Choo Choo Customs Inc. in Chattanooga, TN and got there treatment to make it a Convertion truck, 2 custom bucket seats for the front a rear bench fold down seat In Maroon Velour, Headliner, White Paint job with 2 pin stripes, front airdam and alot more. My truck have spent its life in Oklahoma until 1990, where it went to florida. it has been used a hauler at one time and have been front end damaged witch have been repaird and at some time in the 90s, it went overseas to Poland. where it was used as a hauler for a circus and have been hauler Seals and have been haulering those around many countrys in europe until some time in 2001. Where it was abandond at a company parking lot. tired 2 damaged tires, dead batteries, destroyed ignition lock, worn out seats, broken passenger side window. it was auctioned of cheap, non running, missing title for parts only. A well know Drag racer Bought it and was going to restore it but that guy put it up forsale again sometime 2003 or 04 i saw the add and drool over it everyday but didnt have that kind of money as 14 year old kid to buy it. then it was gone until Sebtember 9th 2009. A guy replied to an add I have on a US car site as i was looking for old truck without engine cheap, he said that he had an old 82 or 83 3500 chevy, I could get cheap, call him and he told me it had a great sounding 6.2 Diesel with 4 speed manual, but had a very rusty cab and it was missing title. He agred to send me pictures that same afternoon, as promissed i got the pictures that same evening when i opend my mail box i almost fell of my chair there it was the truck i wanted 4 years earlyer: I made him an offer on it right away, he took it $3452 2 weeks later 3 friends and i went cross country to pick it up we where planing to drive it home. It has been taken care off most of it life since there are written oil/filter, fuel filter, tire, brakes and other stuff on the rad support that fron 5000miles upto 70000 something miles, filters where all AC Delco same with brake pads and Shoes.
