Re: Brought it home
NICE TRUCK!, Nice story and very familiar to me. I bought a '68 C20 CST from an elderly neighbor years ago and drove it pretty much trouble free for 10+ years. A little weathered and scruffy, but what a sweet running, driving truck. Paid him $325 for it. He'd had a big slide in camper in it. 327 w/400 trans. Sold it for $500 to another neighbor that owned a roofing company. He had it painted and lettered in his company logo and used it for many more years to drive around and estimate jobs. He liked it 'cause it was a conversation piece with his customers... and was so reliable. It ended up hit front & rear in a rainstorm chain reaction rear ender on the expressway in '04.
