My son found "Miss Daisy" nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains near Sevierville, TN. He had advertised on Craigslist needing parts for another truck he was building when a guy responded saying he didn't have any parts but had a whole '68 Stepside with a good 327 and Muncie 4 speed for sale. We took a road trip the next weekend to take a look at it. It was completely hidden in vines and bushes on the side of a mountain. If you didn't know there was a C10 up this gravel driveway you would never find it.

We worked out a deal on the spot and made arrangements to come back to get the truck the following weekend. Looking back, we could have probably driven the truck back home (about 100 miles), but the brakes were soft. My son-in-law borrowed a trailer and we towed her home.

She was a good old truck. We sold it about a year ago.
