WOW what a day, Plans are a changin! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

turbochevy · 12-24-2006, 12:32 AM

I was surfin the web last night and found another C10 for sale that caught my eye! Well after a few e-mails and a phone call I now own:

I figured that after all was said and done I will save a few bucks and some time if I start off with a truck like this one. I had full intentions of doing a complete build on my first C10 but my work load will not allow it. Looks like the Old C10 is for sale and the new one is getting a nice forged GENIII motor!

Sweet!

Great looking truck. Just think of all the work you saved yourself. Your gonna have some extra seats lying around. Don't forget about a certain bench seat.

No doubt! The seat in the old truck is going with it, but the seat in the new one is VERY nice

Bob Moore · 12-24-2006, 12:56 PM

At the Albany, OR swap meet in November a fellow was selling a very similar truck. I just love the RED.

I like working on mine but I should just buy a finished one and leave it the hell alone.

Enjoy your new truck - Bob

QKENUF4U · 12-24-2006, 03:05 PM

I hear ya, I just know how impatient I can be.....and the year that I have planned at work will be keeping me pretty busy!

I picked the truck up from Gilbert AZ.....pretty much your back yard!
