After a while of searching on craigslist I finally found a truck that suited my needs! I originally wanted a 67-72 model Chevy C10, but all the ones that were in my price range were all rusted out and would cost more to fix them than I could get selling it after I fixed it. The ones with no rust were professionally restored and cost almost as much as a brand new truck, so I decided to start looking for the next year model, 73-86. After looking at a few of them which were still pretty expensive and they had rust or other issues, I stumbled upon one that seemed almost perfect.
It is a 1975 K10 Stepside. A true 4×4 with no rust! The other great thing about it was the price. It was quite a bit lower than the other trucks I was looking at and didn’t have any of the problems that they did. There are a few things I need to work on but it is a solid truck and I am honored to own such a beautiful beast!
I’ll post more updates of the work I’m doing once it happens!
