Just had to share this find... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked this up yesterday. A guy about an hour away had it on craigslist with a very short description, said the big block was knocking and just wanted it gone. When he started it up I could clearly tell it was just a donut gasket that was blown out. I was able to drive it all the way home. Its all original and hasn't been messed with in any ways. It even has a fifth wheel and gooseneck in the bed. Best part of all, it was only $700.

It has a 454 with the turbo 400. Its not 4wd yet, kinda considering putting it in it though. Not for sure yet because I want to leave it all original.

wyattglock · 02-04-2013, 09:19 AM

Nice truck for northern Indiana!

**old Rusty C10** · 02-04-2013, 09:25 AM

looks good those are excellent work horses

*mrhino* · 02-04-2013, 09:38 AM

It looks familiar . Im in N. Indiana too. Where in N. Indiana did you make that great score.

motornut · 02-04-2013, 09:40 AM

looks in real good shape,yup,you scored

cfurlan · 02-04-2013, 10:26 AM

I got it over by north Webster (Warsaw) area. I'm real happy with how clean it is for the year. I just need to find good replacement rockers and cab corners. Floors are solid. The only other rust is on the inner fenders about a 1 inch hole on each one.

Im familiar with North Webster. Use to go to the titty bar there when I was younger. sound like a real good deal. do you have any big plans for it?

cfurlan · 02-04-2013, 10:40 AM

For now I want to fix the exhaust leak and give it a tune up. I want to keep it all original and fix the little bit of rust. I'm have trouble finding actual replacement rockers. I don't want slip ons. Then probably give it fresh paint.

I saw someone was selling crew cab rockers somewhere. maybe LMC. Ill see if I ca remember where it was for sure

cfurlan · 02-04-2013, 10:48 AM

*mrhino* · 02-04-2013, 10:49 AM

cfurlan · 02-04-2013, 11:20 AM

nice looking truck
might check www.raybuck.com

cfurlan · 02-10-2013, 07:51 PM

Will do, thanks cdm

cfurlan · 02-10-2013, 07:55 PM

All I seen were slipons, no luck. I heard somewhere that you can use regular cab rockers, they just require some modification. I may look that route. I looked at the truck more today and it appears that only the outers need changed.

cdm10700 · 02-10-2013, 10:00 PM

That would work on front not sure what kind if custom work on the back haven't got to mess with a crew cab yet
I'm looking for one just havent found one yet that I wouldn't have to replace entire body

I used the LMC rocker's, cut mine out and weld'd there's in. only issue I found is that there not form'd between the door's, that area was good on mine so it was no issue's.
