Bad gas, heck i could barely afford to fill the tanks back then. Wait... that hasn't changed much these days. LOL
That's how my PO got the '68 C/10 Stepside. He was Army, but got ahold of the MCB Camp Pendleton base paper. A Navy Capt [O-6] placed an ''Orders overseas, need party to take over payments'' ad in the classifieds. So this guy a short Sgt. bought the truck off the Captain, who was a Catholic chaplain at CamPen. I was a civilian when I bought the truck, but enlisted myself shortly after.
I left the Stepside with my Dad. Who used it a bit in town. But the battery was flat when I got out of Boot, anyway.
