Re: Anyone got any cool history about there truck?

My '64 doesn't have any interesting history that I know of. BUT the '72 K10 Plow truck does. The previous owner was a nutjob, and he ended up driving the truck off of a 20 foot bridge. The damage is present.... Mostly the Cab just sitting on the frame, it's not mounted.

Nothing cool about the history on mine...what I like about it is the lack of history. When it was first bought it went straight from dealer lot to camper lot where they installed the cool cabover in my avatar pic which meant it sat more than it was driven, the cabover also preserved the interior from the sun and kept the bed cherry the tailgate has minor scratches from sitting in the rafters of the po's garage and still has factory paint on the strike latches.

Re: Anyone got any cool history about there truck?

My Sons 64 was actually hit in the backend by a Cement truck while being parked on the side of the road. As a testiment of how tuff these old trucks are, I took it to a frame specialist and he told me it was so close to being strait that he thought it was a waste of money to straiten it. I had him straiten it anyway because I am one of those guys that knows if something isnt just right it will bug me. I feel it was the best $300 I have spent. I figure if it can survive a smashing by a cement truck I can feel pretty good about my Son driving it.
