Another New Truck. Sort Of... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

junkyardjohn · 08-17-2006, 07:01 PM

HERE'S PIC.S OF MY LATEST FIND. IT'S A ONE OWNER 71 C-30 WITH 86,000 MILES ON THE CLOCK. IT HAS A NO SPIN REAR END, SM465 4 SPEED & A 6 CYL. IT RUNS & GOES DOWN THE ROAD JUST FINE, BUT I SEE A 454 & T-400 IN IT'S FUTURE. THIS TRUCK SPENT 35 YEARS IN A BARN HERE IN KY. I'D BE EMBARESSED TO SAY WHAT I PAID FOR IT. JOHN

WELL LET ME JUST SAY THAT THE NO-SPIN REAR END IS WORTH DARN NEAR WHAT THE TRUCK COST ME.
