1979 Bonanza/10.
Happened to have procured a rusty K10 last night after going out to look at a 72 K10. Decided to bite on this 79 instead. Ideally I wanted a 73-79 K10 LWB. Friend let me know about this one for sale about 40 minutes away. Couldn't remember where exactly it was. So I wound up driving around side streets in a town for about an hour last night. Finally found it around 9pm. Knocked on the guys door. Verified it was for sale, went over to look at it and saw '$495' on the windshield.
I was taken back for the price of the truck, being that the running gear is worth more than $500 pending that it was all in working order.. Started the truck right up, drove it around his yard for a couple minutes, then up the road and back. Came back and let it idle for about 45minutes. Wound up having it towed home, because my wife was asleep and everyone else was drunk already. The plan is to get it ready for the street by the first snowfall. By ready, I mean new panels on the cab, including doors, fenders, rockers inner and outter / etc. Wound up getting it for $450 delivered. The guy bought the truck last winter for when the weather was bad. Drove it as is. It'll be there to replace my Mustang once the weather gets cold. So the mustang can spend some time in the garage over winter. One thing that struck me as odd.. The truck has both the Scottsdale package & the Bonanza package....
