Just bought a 65 K-10 whadda ya think?

This is one of those good news/bad news stories....
I have a life long friend who had a stroke about 4 years ago. He was a mechanic and a true classic truck collector. He had one truck since 1979 which was always my favorite (this one.) He called me last week and asked me if I wanted to buy it. Because of his stroke, he doesn't have much use of his left leg or arm. And I guess there's not much chance he'll get much better. And since this truck's a standard shift, he knows he'll never be able to drive it again. He said he wanted me to be the one to get it. It's one of those things where I feel bad taking his "baby" but he said, "if you don't buy it, I'm gonna sell it to someone else, so either way...." What really gives it sentimental value too is the fact that we had a mutual friend who died five years ago at 48, and the last thing that these two guys did together was to put the rebuilt motor back in this truck. So, I guess this will be one of those trucks that you never sell and hand down to your kids.
