After the shiping from AZ to IL- I am going to have $4500 in it-- a little more than I wanted to spend BUT it is the color and options that I want!!

Driveway Dreams · 05-22-2009, 05:17 PM

I love it! Looks like a great truck! Post more when it gets to you.

ChaseDale3and8 · 05-24-2009, 08:35 AM

$4500 is a steal when you consider there is no rust to deal with! I gave $3500 for the bucket of rust that I own! Got the parts to completely re-body it now, but wish I could have found one like that to start with! Nice score! ...Joe

Gary66 · 05-28-2009, 10:02 PM

The truck was picked up today!!! cant wait to get it!!!

JohnC · 05-29-2009, 08:18 AM

Looks like a nice truck, and for a good price with no rust, and one owner! Keep us updated.

Gary66 · 06-05-2009, 09:41 PM

Got it!! it is nicer than I thought it would be!!! all original-- and 99% rust free-- here are some pics

Gary66 · 06-05-2009, 09:44 PM

Here are some more-- and you may notice that there is a dual tank on the drivers side-- it is a "dealer" add on--

79gmcc15 · 06-05-2009, 11:25 PM

that actually looks like A LOT of work needed! in fact, you should actually give it to me and I'll give you mine. straight trade, mine is in MUCH better shape and you will be much happier with it!

JohnC · 06-06-2009, 02:56 PM

See folks here on the board are so caring for other truck owner's needs!

powerdriver 1958 · 06-06-2009, 03:32 PM

Looks solid to me!! By your pic of the drive shaft looks like something may be rubbing.

The under hood looks like it should.Its not hacked up
Great find.

sperz1 · 06-06-2009, 03:38 PM

Damn Arizona and your rust free trucks

Cmon over to the east coast!

Truck looks great man. Really digging those white rims, gives it a safari off road look.

6772fan · 06-06-2009, 10:21 PM

You did VERY well. It's hard to find original short bed 4X4;s. Nice truck.

For sure. The C10's are hard enough to find in decent shape, K10's are a whole different story, this was a killer score

babyJay · 06-07-2009, 09:47 AM

I like it!

come east just a little and I'll show ya what we do with that kind of truck around here, and where we like to take 'em.

bobjob · 06-07-2009, 12:25 PM

hi... there are a lot of great deals here..I've seen some of the trucks and cars you guys have to work with!!I might ***** about it getting 110-117 outside,,but i know that no matter how much time you guys spend on your rides,, salt is gona try to eat up your hard work!!
...no place is perfect.. except for so. cal.. and with all the over crowding,,gangs,,earthquakes,,gridlock,,and too many people with bad attitudes,, i guess that's why i moved from there..
