My new DD/Toy

[sky56]

Hello all. just recently picked up this 77 C-10 with a newer rebuilt 350 under the hood and a 4 speed to go along and traded my 96 grand cherokee straight up for it. Needs a little loving not much but shes there. Ive always loved old cars and trucks and with having a motorcycle and kayaking, biking, etc i thought a truck would suit me better. here she is let me know what you all think. Thanks take care

Cool! Looks good

[Driveway Dreams]

Cool, looks good in the bright orange. It seems like a great deal for you. To trade the Jeep for that was (to quote Homer Simpson) "S-M-R-T smart smart smart." But...I think you have a K-10 my friend. C=2WD K=4x4

Thanks guys. Hey driveway dreams i ran my vin and it comes up as a C-10. I hope im right. I used a page from the LMC Truck website to decode it. If im wrong im wrong. let me know. Much appreciated. Thanks

[sky56]

Hey driveway dreams i just double checked my vin and you are right it is a K-10. My bad i guess i miss read it. Well you learn something new everyday i guess. Thanks guys. i post more pics as time and progress goes on.

its a K series...C series are 2wd

the 1st digit indicates make...in your case, C should be there identifying it as a Chevrolet. The second digit should be a C or K, C for 2wd, K for 4wd. If it is a C, then someone switched cabs on this truck...or VIN's.

[bigblock73]

posted at the same time...looks like you got it figured out.

[sky56]

Yeah the first 3 are CKL and so on. Its a true vin and was built in St Louis. Its my first chevy truck. ive owned a 73 camrao LT and an 80 camaro.

Nice truck. Now add security features to disable it. I would hate to see it stolen for parts!! If you need ideas send me a PM.

Cool color!!

Straight up for a '96 Grand Cherokee??? You got the better end of that deal. Nice truck!!! Welcome to the board, old chevy trucks can be addicting.

Looks real good man, nice truck!

[sky56]

Thanks everyone. Yeah straight up for my grand Cherokee. It served me well in the past years but had some things becoming worse with time. I think the color rocks. Looking forward to getting things done to it. Nothing crazy just a reliable nice daily driver

That's a great trade for you, I don't know about the other guy.

It looks so good already, but what mods/repairs do you have in mind to make
it your own?

[74 C-30]

sharp truck!
what size tires are those and is it lifted? it has a mean stance!

[MrBeast]

damn im jealous, that is a sharp truck.

Good trade

[dammitmitchell]

wow i do believe you made out like a bandit on that trade!
good trade!

[tvblazer78]

I like that color! Go vols!! UT Football.

[6772fan]

I would say you definitely traded up. Nice truck!

[babyJay]

I hate to sound repetitious, I keep looking for a way to say this, but the only thing that comes to mind is...nice truck! Get yourself some angle iron mounted to the underside of that hood where it's starting to bend. These hoods all do that, and eventually it will crease and start to crack (on both sides)!

[84 400]

sweet 77 you got there. What are your plans??

[glock35ipsc]

The other guy got hosed! Nice solid truck, great trade!

[chevitcars]

nice truck sky, did you pick that up in richmond il, i looked at it on a small car lot about a year ago,i guess it was a friend of the guy who owned the car lot, i love that color. good luck with it

[billnorman]

You might lubricate the hood hinge area. Hinges that bind up buckle hoods.

[boatpuller]

nice
