Reunited and it feels so good

About 12 years ago my dad sold is 63 C-10 fleetside short bed. I remember riding around in this truck as a little boy and was trying to drive it to high school when he sold it. Unfortunately he had to sell it to purchase a new lawn mower back in 2004. 12 years later I am on craigslist and I find a 63 C-10 fleetside. I decided to check it out because I am an antique lover. Well low and behold, IT WAS MY DADS OLD TRUCK!!! The guy was asking $2200 for it and it hadn't changed since my dad sold it. Same 350 and 350 trans....even the old Corolla seats he put in it to get him by. I called the guy and he said his phone hadn't stop ringing since he listed it and had a bunch of people wanting to come look at it. I politely asked the guy if he would put me first in line because I really wanted this truck back and to get it back on the road. I went and picked it up and I have been working on it for the past couple weeks now. It runs but I have some issues that need sorting like the transmission leak and misc items to make it road worthy. I plan to drive this truck daily just like my pappy did back in the 90's and hope to pass it down to my kids. Sorry no pics yet!

I'll try! I can't do it from my phone too easily.
