[Treetop839]

I learned to drive a 1965 C10 with a 327 and 3 on the tree no power anything that was my Dads truck. Dad bought a 1970 Custom 10 with the 307 and 350 turbo tranny when I was 16 or 17 (around 1990) from his boss and the local mechanics shop Dad worked at. I named it Murphy because of the infamous Law seemed to keep showing up! Murphy had power brakes and power steering ( made for a interesting couple of days getting use to these). A few years went by and I tried cleaning out a ditch and groove of trees with the passenger side one night. We put the truck back together and I was driving it the next night after swapping a rear end and rear wheels, new to me rear sway bar and some body work with a sledge hammer and block of wood so the door handle would work. started buying parts to fix the body as I was driving it daily. Swapped the 307 for a 350 a few months later that leaked and burnt 2 quarts of oil a week. A year latter we dropped a 350 out of a 1994 Chevy Van in after I threw a rod. I drove Murphy daily until 2001 when I bought a 1991 Chevy Z71. The last few years I have been slowly (my wife thinks I'll never get it back together) restoring the body. Friend have asked me if I would ever get rid of the truck and there are NOOOO Plans of letting Murphy leave. Hoping to get him back together soon so We can drive the heck out of it again. Enjoying all the story's about everyone rides!
