[VA72C10]

This build is a continuation of another member's build. Seen here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=423026

His title was

The Streetcorner C/10 (aka Rebuild on a Shoestring)

Well, I have a driveway and soon enough...room in the garage....so the streetcorner part doesn't make sense for my build...but it WILL still be a rebuild on a shoestring. A lot of cleaning, upgrading parts, and spray bomb will make this truck into a really solid driver!

This build will pick up where he left off. Chandler (mmmmoore24) is moving out of state to continue his education. I had watched the truck on craigslist but it was out of my price range at first. As the weeks approached to his moving date the price continued to drop. Then, on my daily craigslist search...I noticed he posted a new low price and also that he was moving in a few days. I sent him an email and made him what I considered a backup offer....as in....if the truck didn't sell before he was ready to move I would come and buy it. Well, a bunch of craigslist flakes later and I get an email saying it's mine. Drove the wife and kids in the van the 1/2hr trip to the truck, looked it over quickly, and then got the keys and title in exchange for the agreed to price...

Got in, started it up, and drove it the 35 minutes home without a hiccup. 307 V8 w/ a 3 speed manual in the floor. Stripped down long bed....but everything works on it! It was fun to be driving a truck again.
