Dad scores again! 1969 C20 BBC/auto

[glock35ipsc]

Dad scored another nice truck the other day. He just called me, and he and my brother are on their way to get it and bring it home. This one is special!

It is a cherry, all original 1969 Chevy C20. I think he said the SPID said 396. Automatic trans, interior very dusty but cherry. No cracks or warps in the dash pad, door panels wiped clean and shiny. The seat is in bad shape, but original. He said he thinks he can see the build sheet under the seat springs. Powell72 and I were looking at the pics this morning and it almost looks like it has split rims on it. He got it for $500. It looks to me like we can wash it real good (engine has about an inch of dirt on top) and run it. Oil is clean, plugs are barely brown. Gonna pull the carb and the rest of the plugs to make sure it is clean inside before we try to fire it.

OK, the special part. This truck was bought new in 69 by my Dad's uncle John! The guy Dad bought it from is an old high school buddy of his. He bought it from Dad's uncle some time ago, and is now moving to Nebraska and didn't want to drag the truck along. He called Dad to tell him he owned it, and wanted to see if Dad would be interested in buying it. Dad went and looked at it and asked him what he wanted for it. The guy told him $500, and Dad wrote a check about 5 seconds later.

So I think once we get the Blazer cleaned out and get some better pics, we will put it up for sale or part it out, then start on this one.
