Re: Where/How did you find your Truck ?
First, I'm really reaching back to 1988 to tell my story so bear with me.
I remember I was working in Raleigh NC when I decided I wanted an older truck. (My father had a 1970 Custom 10 and I loved it.) My boss (at that time) called his friend to see if he wanted to sell his old truck. Luckily, he did and I went to take a look. It was a very nice looking truck and I fell in love with color combination upon first sight. I remember seeing the 8/400 badge on the fender and got excited that it was a 400SB. Well, unknowingly, I *thought* it was a small block until I raised the hood and seen the big block sitting in there...air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. Those were luxuries my fathers truck didn't have so I was delighted when I seen them. I believe the guy wanted $3000 for the truck but I only *borrowed* $2500 to get one. I told the guy I'd buy the truck but I only had $2500. Anyway, I left and it seems like a couple of weeks went by and the guy called and told me he'd sell it to me for $2500. I kept the truck for a couple of years and sold it. THAT was the worst mistake I made and have always regretted it. Anyway, it's June 2014 and I bought it back from the person I originally sold it to for $2800. I felt like it was a good price for the truck since it's an original BB.
The scanned picture was from 1988-89. The other picture was June 30th 2014.
