Re: What did your truck cost & When did you buy it & Where?

1) When did you purchase your truck and purchase cost?
Valentines day 2003; $950. Sold extra parts that came with it for $50, net purchase price $900.

2) Where did you find your truck?
Truck purchased from a local farm boy about 30 miles from my place.

3) Year, model, and factory options on your truck?
1970 GMC C1500 LWB fleetside.
-A pillar mounted spotlight (dealer installed, even says GM on it's tag)
-Westcoast mirrors
-350 V8/3spd
-Full Vinyl bench
-Upper and lower trim
-AM Radio
-Rust

4) How did you find your truck?
Saw truck in local paper's classifieds. I was pissed off because I had looked at a Fiero that didn't run and was told my vehicles had to run, so I saw this, called, drove, worked the seller down a little, and brought her home to a spot of glory in the driveway. I was promptly kicked into the street due to oil leaks.

5) Condition of your truck (1-10).
At purchase 5, no rockers, little floors, ran okay, Corolla bucket seats that didn't match, but surface rust only on bed. Still wearing her original paint, although it was worn off on the fenders and doors where you lean over to work on the truck and drive with an arm out the window.

Now I call it an 11, gotta have pride in your truck. The outside is pretty, the underside's still dirty, but the road's the only thing that sees that. I drive the crap out of it, I figure I bought it, why not break it? Everything's held up fine though, including the stock 3spd.
