Hubby goes fishin'....
and catches a '70 K10. Well...not all the way home. He couldn't load it on the trailer he had, so he and his buddy checked the gas, said it was good. Fiddled with the thing and finally it started. They drove it to the beach-house (about 30 miles away) doing 70 mph. When they got it to the beach-house, they dug and found out it had been registered to Jerry last year (hubby thought it had been sitting and not used in over 5 years).
So...he caught the big one all right. And best of all...it was FREE. Yes....I said free! Jerry had told him he had "an old POS truck in my yard I want moved". Stan asked him what it was and he told him a 40 year old 4x4. That peaked Stan's interest. Stan asked how much he wanted for it and Jerry said just get it out of his yard. Sorry...no pics at the moment, not 'til they get it to Central Alabama at least. So looks like the kid will have a beater 'til the '67 gets up and running. And I was worried which to get him..an '00 GMC or '02 Dodge.

I did get pics of the truck while the boys were looking for the water leak, and I'll try posting them up in a little bit. Found out it's a 3/4 ton, not a 1/2 ton, so no swapping parts for the '67. I think Stan's decided HE needed HIM a truck, so he'll be looking for a decent body to put on the '70 while working on the body for the '67. Looks like I'm in the truck bidness as well as the boat bidness. Yea me.

Re: Hubby goes fishin'....
I'm just wondering"What test line he was using?"I mean I may try to go fishing and I wouldn't want to go too light.

Re: Hubby goes fishin'....
Cool glove box sticker. I also love the organizer around the transfer case lever.

Re: Hubby goes fishin'....
Wow! That was definitely worth the buy in price. How bad is the actual body?

Re: Hubby goes fishin'....
Does this answer your question? And that's the GOOD side! The interior roof is also rotted. That's why he's looking for a new cab. The bed sides are actually in pretty good shape...surface rust is all.
