Last week i picked up the 75 k10. Seen it on Craigslist for $500 and knew i had to have it. So i offered $250, he said ok, and now its mine! At this point its looking like a daily driver kind of restoration. A light resto if you will.

Its a pretty cool truck really. Has aftermarket AC which is surprisingly still intact! Very little rust but a beat body.

The biggie is it needs a trans rebuild. It runs pretty good and goes in reverse fine. But no forward. No big. Its a th350 and they are easy enough to rebuild.

Here is the truck the day i got it.

Not much rust in the Rockers.

He said he used to keep the truck in his barn with the horses and that the horses use to chew on the hood! I dont know why. Maybe it was tasty?

Under the hood.

Inside.
