new truck. 69 C10

[JimmyFloyd]

Well, no pictures yet, but I essentially just bought a 1960 C10 6 cyl, 3 speed man (converted to floor shift). It's got a bunch of rust, but should run and drive. And the price was right. Also comes with a bunch of replacement panels. I found it on CL, and really wanted to get it for a beater, but didn't have the space for it, and didn't have the disposable cash at the moment. I showed it to a guy at work who I talked to alot obout my trucks cause he has one. Turns out, the one on CL was his. We talked a bit and he said he could store it til spring, and I could pay him when I got the chance. I said OK, and the deal was done. Now I haven't looked at it in person (going to do that tonight) but it looks like with a little bit of work, I'll have a decent beater truck I can use to pick up parts in. He said he even might be able to get it running and driving with me so I could just drive it home (since there is a 70 suburban on my trailer right now)


So hopefully tonight I can take a look at it and will know what I got myself into. Unfortunately, the girlfriend didn't like it when I mentioned it to her, so hopefully she warms up to it before spring when I have to bring it home.
