New to me truck 1968 C20 50th

I had the pleasure this weekend of driving 835 kms, each way, to pick up this beauty.




It is probably familiar to a bunch of you as I bought it from list member short-t from Calgary.

Here is the spid.



Photos are from short-t still as I haven't pulled out the camera since arriving home this afternoon.

I was a good trip, left Saturday morning at 7 AM with my 04 Duramax and the car trailer. Meet short-t near Peace River about 3:15 PM, loaded and I was heading north again by 5 PM. Spent the night in High Level. Drove home the last 575 kms today.

I can't say enough about the great treatment short-t has given me. I drove the truck last November in Calgary at his home, which I thought was very generous. This past week we worked together to get the truck transfered and at ever step of the way he was more that accommodating. I inquired about getting the truck appraised for insurance reasons. He arranged it, met the appraiser, heck he even paid the guy and I repaid him when we met. Upstanding deal. Did I mention that he drove halfway for the cost of fuel!
