71 Cheyenne driver resto!
After searching for quite a while, I finally found a truck local to me that was worth fixxing with a limited budget. I looked at several prior to purchasing this truck and most had way more rust and problems...and owners still wanting all the money for them.
I knew finding a solid truck in the New England area would be expensive, so I wasn't all that surprised by the prices. I had watched this truck on a local craigslist add for a month before I responded to the add. I forgot the original asking price, it was somewhere around 7k when I first saw it. After 3 weeks of back and forth emails and a trip to look at the truck, I ended up buying it the day before Christmas for $5k. I was ok with what I paid for it, some say I got a great deal, others say I paid to much. The truck is a 1971 Chevy c10 Cheyenne LWB, solid truck that started it's life in Virginia. 114,000 miles according to the paperwork in the glove box, with a new GM Goodwrench 350 installed at 110,000 miles. Everything worked perfect and the truck drove like a new vehicle. 350 V8, TH 350 automatic, AC, PS, PB, Sport Truck option, etc. My plan with the truck is to take it apart and stop all the rust and replace whatever rust/rot I find. Here's what I started with, the day I took it home! The interior is very clean and will need very little work to restore
