With a Little Work it can be a Piece of Crap

[earlthegoat2]

The first truck I owned was a 68 C-10 converted to a K-10 by my father and I. I went to the military and college and dad ended up selling it. No biggie really.

However, I am a new homeowner now and need a truck for yard and renovation projects as we purchased a fixer upper.

So naturally I went looking for another truck of the 67-72 variety. I have been looking for better than 4 months for the right one and quite honestly this is NOT it. But it was the right price and it was the right time.

There is rust holes in everything. You name it it has rust on it. However, it drives and this is important to me. It had to be driveable as that is my only method of transport.

So:

Here are the CL pics.





And here is mine after I got it home about an hour ago.



What the pictures dont show though is how this truck made a 200 mile drive from a little south of Myrtle Beach all the way to Savannah. And only burned 5/8 of a tank of fuel.

That alone was worth 900 bucks.

No issues at all except for it did not like going over 45-50 mph and the POS Spectre floor shift was wonky as heck.

The only thing worth a salt with it is the rims and glove box door (of which the SPID is somewhat defaced) I might be able to read it after a little work. Probably a 6 option truck like these usually are. Manual steering and brakes six cylinder 3 speed. My favorite.
