picked up another one....... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bought me another truck

description:

Here for sale is an excellent running and driving 1977 Chevrolet C-10 custom deluxe short bed step side 2wd. The truck has a three speed manual transmission that was converted from column shift to a floor shift. Everything on the truck works great.

pics:

been talking back and fourth with the old owner, some minor bodywork, says the truck runs fantastic 85k original, 250/6, 3spd, 12bolt, 5lug, nothing wrong with it at all mechanically/electrically. Waiting for her to be delivered.

I'll get better pics up when she's in my possession!

too bad about the column shifter (there just totally retro cool), like to see the floor shifter, did they do a decent job?

I agree with dieseldawg142 - 3 on the tree is a nice "old school" touch. I wouldn't worry about passing smog. The biggest issue is making sure that all the required equipment is there. Beyond that, any DIY mechanic can fine tune it if there is a problem passing. Looks like you picked up a solid rig. I'll see you over at Topper's for pizza and a beer.

Toppers? What's that?

looks like a great rig for a severe drop on those dog dish wheels and a speed shop sign on the door.

A pizza joint by the Port Hueneme Naval Base. It's a good gathering spot for Ventura County gearheads.
