I actually miss the little red bastard, it was my DD and road trip ride. Went to charlotte many times with it, NY a few times, took it to Spring Carlisle in 2011, and it went all over NC and GA during my 65/66 mustang search. I probably put 2,000 miles on it just going to look at cars.

haha don't get me wrong. I had one too. I loved that damn truck. Pissed me off more times than I can count, but never left me stranded.



I sold it to pay for my 68 and at the moment I couldn't be happier. I may miss it down the road, but there honestly wasn't anything special about it aside from the rims and that's only personal value. If I ever want one again I'd buy it and do it up the exact same way haha.

But what I was really getting at is that if you can't foot the bill to fix a c10 you won't be able to afford a reliable beater. You'd just be throwing money at junk. And chances are, with all the electronics in newer cars it would be MORE expensive to fix.
