It Starts again - Another truck after a 1year Hiatus (SP?)

[arkracing]

So I sold my '69 Stepper last October actually and have been on and off about getting another truck to keep my '33 FordHotRod company & I need something to putz around in and maybe haul a trailer every once-in-a-while.

Anyway reading through the local "Swapper" I stumble across an ad for a '71 K-10 for Cheap.
Call the guy up, go check it out and drive it home.
I really would rather have a 3/4ton - but for the price "I had to have it"

DOH! the wife just laughed when we pulled up to pick it up this afternoon.

Specs:
- '71 K10
- 350 (Original - appears to be)/350 Auto/some type of Transfer case - I don't know much about 4x4s - but I am going to learn now I guess.
- Owner just had the tranny rebuilt and has a reciept for $700 and change with a date of 07/06
- Motor Leaks EVERWHERE - so it will probably come out for a cleaning and re-seal as it runs sweet!
- Edlebrock Intake, BRAND NEW Holley Double Pumper - (I'll probably take that off as I think it is too much for the truck)
- Bed is in nice shape - someone cut the DR side for a saddle tank - I'll do something better with that I think.
- A/C cab - needs rockers and 1 corner - but Supports are all good & I got new Rockers with the deal.
- Cab has some rust issues in the roof as some old trucker must have owned it and put those A/M clearance lights on it.
- Needs a seat as someone adapted some junk mid 80's Caddy Split Bucket set-up into it.
- Even got the 1971 Owner's Manual with it - in Super Nice Shape (still in the bag )

Overall Pretty nice - the oil slick underneath it must have helped preserve it a little better up here in NewEngland

A little TLC and it should be a 1/2way decent work rig.

Anybody know what size tires this thing had on it from GM????? - cause those tires & wheels are FUGLY!!!!!!! and JUNK - Any help would be appreciated as I can't decifer the Owner's Manual as to what it is supposed to have on it
15" or 16" and what size looks like the Factory ones??? - Thanks


Here are a couple pics for you pic whores!!
