Reminds of NORCAL actually. Back in 98 my first visit to my uncles in Placerville CA I remember a bunch of cool 2wd rigs with whitewater kayaks sticking out out the beds. 2wd is not so popular around here but I dig them. A little country. A little surf. A little retro. A whole lotta cool.

I definitely like it - super nice truck!

Speaking of nor-cal, I was in Placerville visiting my folks last weekend. Here's my truck with a couple kayaks in back going for a lazy float on the Sacramento River.

Nice! Good color.

Ive only kayaked the American. Hangtown is pretty cool. I dig the laid back vibe. My uncle has since moved to Sea Ranch.

Nice! Welcome. GREAT first classic chev truck. Ask away - it might look perfect (and yes, it does!), but you'll want to dig and learn, and we're happy to help. Love the Custom Deluxe interiors when they are in like-new condition, looks beautiful with ochre. Post your SPID when you get a chance, we all love to read them...

Have fun drivin' it!!! We all do!

Wow, that's a beautiful truck. Mechanically these are a breeze, especially with an HEI, IMO, and that thing looks sound. Daily driver huh? Looks like a show truck from here.

Probably hasn't been run that far for awhile check the fuel' filter. Would do that anyway as well as a complete fluid change and air filter that way you know it has all been done.

What do you guys think of using one of these for daily storage in my driveway during fair weather months?
