Flew to Little Rock this morning and got this little gem and had a nice ride back to the DFW area.

Factory tbi,dual tanks,and cold a/c. Need to figure out how to adjust drivers door. It needs to close a little more.This will be a driver.Love it so far. I'm usually on the 67-72 side, but I've always loved the 3rd gen c-10s.

Very nice! Post some interior pics. Check the striker and see it the plastic bushing is missing. That will cause it to not close tight.

Thanks. I'll post pics of the interior and front grill tomorrow. I am beat from the early flight and drive back,plus i'm getting up early and heading to goodguys.

The truck is absolutely gorgeous!

Right colors, right wheels, perfect stance. Love it, and congrats.

No doubt that it is! I wasn't downgrading you idea at all. I did that the other day on my Tahoe tailgate because I cannot find strikers for it.
