Potential parts donor truck for my 62 C-10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all,

I have an opportunity to purchase a running and driving 1981 C-10 two wheel drive truck to scrounge parts off of.

It has a straight 6, SM465 tranny, power steering, power brakes.

$700 OBO. (Shown at bottom of this post)

Am I correct in my thinking that this would be an excellent donor vehicle to upgrade my mostly stock 62 C10 SWB??

I'm not totally certain I want to take my truck from being pretty darn original (I'm kind of a purist when it comes to nostalgia and vehicles).

But there is something to be said for having a nice driving and nice stopping pick up too!

What do you all think?
