Just picked it up today! 1970 Chevy K10, half ton 4X4, 350 small block, factory air, factory tach, factory tilt wheel & cab light. Needs some work but in damned good shape for a 42 year old truck.

I forgot... 650 Holley 4 barrel carburetor completely re-built, 400 turbo automatic transmission and power steering. It runs and drives great! I was going to trailer it home, but it drove so nice I decided to drive the almost 70 miles home.
Damn.... shifting with that (what seemed like) four foot shifter was half the fun.
LOL! I still get the fun of the (what seems like) four foot diameter steering wheel. I found a couple of 4 speed trucks that I was considering, but they were both 3/4 ton and I wanted the half ton, automatic. This truck was actually already sold and the guy was supposed to be there Monday to pick it up, so I had to offer a little more than the asking price, but still am very happy with what I paid.

The guy that sold it to you after making a deal with someone else and promising to hold it for them should be dragged outside and beaten to within a inch of his life. I once drove maybe 20 miles after taking off work and renting a trailer and a truck to go pick up a 34 Ford pu that I had agreed to buy and the seller had agreed to hold for me until after that day,and damned if I didn't meet somebody towing in off on their trailer when I was only a couple of miles from his house. I had even called him that morning and told him I was on my way. I suspect it was a good thing for both of us that he refused to come to his door when I got there. Had a similar thing happen 2 years ago on a 54 Merc 2-dr ht I was buying about 400 miles away. I had given the guy a $250 deposit using PayPal and he knew I would be there in 3 or 4 days to pay off the balance and pick it up. I called him the morning I left home to let him know I was coming and would be there the next day,and got about 300 miles from home befoe getting a room for the night. I called him again the next morning to tell him where I was and that I would be there before noon,and he told me he had already sold the car and returned my money using PayPal. That one cost me 2 days wasted,about 50 gallons of fuel,and hotel and restaurant expenses. I hope he dies a very painful and drawn-out death. Seems like nobody has any honor anymore,and sticking by your word means nothing to anybody. Maybe the worse case was when I called a friend in another state to tell him about a 1933 Plymouth coupe at a insane purchase price,and asked him to check it out and make a downpayment on it for me if it seems to be as advertised. I had bought a car from him before,and checked out some Camaro parts for him where I live. His sole interest was in 60's Camaros. Until he spotted that 33 Plymouth,that is. He drove over them and bought it for himself.
