Where are you people finding these trucks at? Here in Florida, almost every older truck has ended up at the crusher or beat all to hell... Nice Truck!

They're out there. They just typically have a higher starting price point..... usually higher than what the majority has on hand when the right one (or a good one) pops up.

I looked @ N2TRUX's 77 before he snagged it. But, I didn't have the bank to take it to that next level like what he did. In my hands it would have been cool. His budget took that super clean starter to the next level for sure where I would have been broke @ point of purchase.

Instead, I settled on a patina'd 74 that was still a cool ride.... especially vs my investment.

I don't know why everybody is always bustin the 80 front end. I like the look. If done right they look just as good as any other year. There's just something about it that I like. Am I the only one? If you have an 80, proudly display those square headlights.

Crawdad, you driving that thing or dragging it? You might want to bring something else to drive home... just in case.

I'm sure there will be many trying to talk you out of it.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I will update soon with some pictures of the new non impact strip front bumper and the rear sport bumper that I pulled in 1 1/4". Hey Buck only 80 miles from Nawlins' to the coast...so driving...with A/C...and listening to the 8 tracks that all my buddies dug out for me! Oh and while cleaning out under seat treasure I found the build sheet still in place between the seat foam and springs....pretty neat.

Very cool, looking forward to getting a closer look.

Very nice. I also like the 80 front. Maybe because I like to be a little different.

C10_ustacould · 06-10-2015, 01:07 PM

Did you end up keeping this one?

UKNOWME · 08-05-2015, 11:58 PM

Updates?

**lolife99** · 08-06-2015, 06:25 AM

I believe Crawdad sold this truck.

C10_ustacould · 08-06-2015, 10:43 AM

If so, someone got a very nice truck! I know Keith battled with it a little but I saw it a Cruisin' the Coast last year and it turned out really nice.

I believe the guy that bought hot trux two trucks, purchased this '80 C10.
Not sure if he still owns it.
