Looked for 6 mos. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

norske · 03-03-2009, 07:17 PM

Missed a few trucks on CL but scored this one. '68 c10 LWB fleetside.

Stats: Completely rebuilt 305 out of an '86 Monte Carlo, cast-steel crank, crank and rods shot-peaned, block and heads shaved, Edlebrock 2101 intake, headers into glass packs, cam a stage or two below a stump, Roch. Q-JET, new rear brakes, new tires......all for 1K. Thought it was a pretty good deal. I'm from Austin, MN right now but my heart is still in FL. Anybody here from the FWB/P'cola area? I used to be a boater, now a trucker, and yep, I'm new here.

Sinister · 03-03-2009, 07:40 PM

Nice score. Welcome to the board.

dhaymaker · 03-03-2009, 07:46 PM

Welcome to the board - from Colorado! Yep, somehow, looking at that snow it seems like Florida would have a certain attraction!

lowbucktruck · 03-03-2009, 07:59 PM

Congrats on scoring the C10! :

Nice looking truck and great price!

I have to ask... what the heck is in the bed... it almost looks photoshopped in, even though I'm sure it's not.

thirdstreettito · 03-03-2009, 08:18 PM

Sweet deal for $1k!

Looks like a good truck for the money. And you will get used to MN. I think we are supposed to get a warm day this summer... Welcome.

67_C-30 · 03-03-2009, 08:39 PM

Nice truck! Welcome to the board!

norske · 03-03-2009, 09:09 PM

That's more bed sheet metal in the bed. just picked it up today. Austin, MN is south of Minneapolis about 90 miles. As far as the rust goes, you should see the other side. I always try and park it with the good side showing

sjarrett71 · 03-03-2009, 09:25 PM

Nice looking truck for a grand! Welcome to the board.

Richard8971 · 03-03-2009, 09:28 PM

Found it in Hutchinson. I bet there's a lot of unknown treasures on some of the farms between here and there. From Albert Lea? we should swap war stories some day.

This is hands-down the best message board on the net as far I'm concerned for that reason. People truly want to help others here, and that really isn't the case on a lot of other forums.

dan42 · 03-04-2009, 12:34 AM

I have seen a few running around in Worthington as well, and north of the Lakes area - (Spirit Lake, Okoboji) - just have to keep your eyes open.

Welcome from good 'ol California!

idonutn0 · 03-04-2009, 09:07 AM

The gas pedal alone is worth the money you paid!
Great looking truck.
