[Ironhorse]

I bought my '71 K10 LWB in summer of '85. Rough, had been rode hard and put away wet many times when I bought it for $1500. Plain Jane Custom /10, 4 speed, 4WD, gauges and AM radio was about it. Also came with a '72 3/4 ton beater than I turned into my trash/wood/gravel hauling trailer. Over the years replaced both outer fenders, inner fenders, both doors, hood, bed and tailgate. All original GM sheet metal scrounged from the local 'yards. Probably have half dozen or more trucks in the lineage here, LOL. I bought NOS rockers, aftermarket body bushings, new leaf springs front and rear Only thing original to the truck is the cab and running gear. Told you it was rough when I bought it, LOL.

Thru the years, I have added original '71 tow hooks, am/fm truck radio, tilt column, factory tach, bumper guards, 4 row radiator, freshened the 350, Edelbrock 625 CFM carb and Edelbrock intake, dual exhaust, 31-10.50-15s on rallys, custom 40/20/40 seat. Currently insured at $18,000 and am thinking I need to up that to $25,000 maybe? Swapped in a 350TH when Arthur got bad in my knees, just couldn't give up driving the truck after all these years.
