Re: My Latest C10 - Unbelievable.
It's a long story... My parents ordered an exact clone to this 84, had the dealership paint the rockers and cab dark blue, and promptly installed my carseat. I loved the truck, but it was sold in my teenage years. It was the first vehicle I ever drove.
From that day, I've always had a strong attraction to 84's, and built the tan one that is in my profile pic. I sold it when a local guy made an excellent offer, and instantly regretted it. I've also owned a string of 84 LWB parts trucks and others. I've been looking on craigslist every couple days since I sold my tan 84, but in that time also located and bought the trashed remains of my parent's original 84. When I told my brother I was ready to find another 84 and we both started looking every morning, trying to find "the one" to have. Last Wednesday night, he sent me a link and said "it's the one" and was only about 100 miles away in a private collection. We were on the road the next day, made the deal and returned the Friday with bundles of $100 bills... Now it's mine and I've already ordered my "NICS 84" personalized tag. It will never be for sale again. Last edited by nico; 10-16-2013 at 12:00 PM. |
