My 72c10 search

[no moa]

So i took yesturday afternoon off to take my Impala ss to its new owner, and go get my lady a new ring. Instead i called into work said i was taking the whole day off instead so i could head 2 hours 1 way up the state to look at a 72 C10 Custom deluxe i saw on CL.
I called them up a couple days before, and the, what sounded like a 100 year old gentleman answered the phone.

Me "do you still have that old truck for sale?"
him "yup"
me "whats the mileage?"
him "104k"
me "is it rusty"
him "nope"
me "does it go ok"
him "tranny goes fine in forward, reverse is sluggish"
me "can you send me more pics"
him (screaming to someone) " can we send pics to this guy of that 89 on that internet"
me "NO , the 72 C10"
him "c10?"
me "the custom deluxe"
him "oh ya, thats a great truck"
me "mileage?"
him "don't know"
me "is it s trailing arm or leaf rearend"
him "don't know"
me "can you look?"
him "yup"

So it went on like this for another 20 minutes, he wasn't sure what it had, the guys in the shop thought it was leaf. Said it had NO rust.
He read me the SPID and it has alot of cool stuff. So i headed out.


The next post shows my findings after 85 miles one way to see it.
