my family is really generous and suportive of my old car and truck addiction
someday i hope to have a garage big enough to restore old cars for a living, both the desoto and my dads 71 will never leave my family as long as i live
thanks guys, if and when the 71 becomes mine i will hopefully be a subscribing member and i will be buying what few parts i need in order to get it back to the condition it was in when my dad finished restoring it in 91
a little info about the truck
its a 1971 custom deluxe k10 with a 350/th350 it has a good amound of options, but im not sure what there are and i dont have a picture of the spid, its has corporate axles with unknown ratios, and a posi rear axle, its has jeep rims on it and i think they look really good on the truck, as you can see its medium olive, and white, it has the am radio and the ammeter oil gauges, a sliding rear window, a wood bed which hase been covered since 93 when it became my dads daily driver untill 2003, in the bed there is a custom made shelf system that supports a queen sized matress which was used on our camping and hunting trips, the paint has gotten bubles in a couple spots and the drivers fender has a rusted out bottom, the tailgate is ruted beyond hope, which is a shame cause its the straitest tailgate for a 67-72 i have ever seen, both door mounted mirrors are broken off, one door handle has no button, and the engine needs a tuneup badly and there is something wrong with the carb(the truck acts like it is starved for fuel when trying to start)
plans for the truck would be to get it back to the condition it was in when my dad finished his resto of the truck, and then it will be my daily driver while i go to college, i plan on getting a winter beater so the truck doesnt go end up like other mn trucks
