I needed another truck like I need a hole in my head - yet here we are!

[67_C-30]

Besides my '67 C-30 and a few parts trucks, I was almost out of the truck business a month ago. I sold my '68 C-10 and ramp truck a while back, and come close to selling the dually. A few weeks ago, somebody called me and told me about a '69 SWB (that ended up being my old shop truck) at a good price, so I bought it. Then one of my buddies had this '72 SWB and wanted an old body race car body that I had so I ended up trading with him on this truck. It's a little rough, but it runs perfectly, and is a turn key driver. It's a stripped down 350/TH350 truck. This truck supposedly sat a long time. When my buddy got it, the PO had put a new fuel tank and sender, new fuel lines, a new carb and an HEI in it. He lowered it and put the wheels on it, but pretty much just drove it.

I don't have the time or resources for another restoration project right now, but I may just drive this thing like it is. Embrace the patina look, and just roll with it! I'm not a huge fan of the 10" car Rallys, so I'll probably put some steelies on it and rock it. I'll probably pull the Horribley carb and put a proper Q-jet back on it.
