They Are Still Out There...
-
I bought this out of a salvage yard today, about 35 miles from my house. It's a '68 C-20 CST 327/TH400 with very little rust. The carb is missing but the engine turns over OK. Pretty nice unmolested truck. It looks to me like it may have had a MAACO job on it but I couldn't find any bondo in it anywhere. Not sure what's going to happen with it yet. I will get it home, clean it up, get it running, and then decide. LockDoc

Re: They Are Still Out There...
Leon you did good. Some folks think you are lucky but I personally think you have honed you "awareness" level. It is like a sixth sense...you don't just go out and look for trucks, corvettes or camaros...It is and attitude, you are always looking and you see things the average person would never see even it they are looking for it.
Enough ramblin Paul
