Killer, that could well be the shortest answer I've ever seen special-K give.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Sometimes, not very often but sometimes.....I know when to be quiet. This is one of those rare moments.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

So my truck was unrestored with lots of options original paint and no rust. I felt the price was reasonable enough for what it was that I could sort anything out that it needed. I just wanted a driver. Although I still don't think I got ripped off money-wise, I was certainly misled. I thought I saw enough pictures, but learned never too many. My main issue was I had planned to drive it home and they were saying "Drive anywhere". It's a good thing I ended up having it shipped. Truck shows up and driver is saying what a PIA the truck has been to move with no clutch. It had NO clutch at all. Start in Granny or reverse First time out, headed up to the corner for fuel 1/2 mile up the road I turned around because the front tires were bouncing like basketballs at 40 mph. Ball-joints way way way shot. I figure I'll run it slow on backroads up to my shop to fix it. About 1/2 mile the other direction going up the big hill I shift to 4th and it about came to a stop when I pushed the clutch. Calipers stuck and hot hot! Drive anywhere as long as it's a repair garage! The next time I drove that truck it had everything new in steering, brakes, and bearings. Driving it home, going down Main St, I hit a manhole and half a spring leaf is tanging and bangin' down the road, stop, pick it up, wave to the residents watching the truck that falls apart when you drive it ![]() All new suspension and while I was at it I did all the drive shaft u-joints since I saw that one was bad. Axles I already did. had to build a new rear driveshaft. I got new wheels and tires since it was two pair of old tires on two Ford/two GM wheels. It turned out the tool & stowage door was a rare '73 door. It actually opened and shut well, but had the wrong contour. I could see in the pictures it was all white with no trim like the rest of the truck, but couldn't tell it was the wrong door. I had a rust free one stashed and sold the '73 door. I wasn't worried about the door because I had another, but still it was an unexpected surprise. That and it had the wrong radio when I asked if it still had the original one.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
When I bought this K10 I'm working on now, I bought it cheap enough I figured I could sort out the problems. I was in a position to go pick it up, so if it had been worse than I expected I could forfeit my $500 and go on my way.
I was pleasantly surprised when I got there. The truck had very little rust as advertised and It ran and drove like a dream. Now it's scattered all over my shop. That is one reason I have been relatively quiet here lately. I am determined to finish this thing in a year. I got to got do some sand blasting now.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
![]() I like the new signature. Reminds me of a guy I had working for me. He was never found dead on the bike path between his dad's house (where he lived) and the bar, but I recall he was found sleeping it off the next morning by the police after concerned citizens called. Another time he rode the bicycle. Coming home he couldn't ride it, got tired of pushing it, left it behind, and forgot where that was. I could start a thread of stories about that guy. I hired him for entertainment.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
This picture was taken 48 years ago tonight. We said I do, and we did.
