I spotted this beauty a few days ago while visiting family in Mississippi on Spring Break. It was sitting in front of Taco Sombrero in Gulfport, Mississippi. I didn't talk to the owner though I would have loved to, but I did get you guys some pics. I'm not sure on the drivetrain but the body was beautiful.

Bad A$$ truck!

Definitely. Seeing it made me really want to find a 50's or a early 70's C10 so that I could airbag it and do a long-term restoration on it. That's definitely next on the list.

For a second I thought that was Cal's truck but then I realize that nothing compares to Cal.

This a a very sweet looking truck.
