72 K10 Daily Driver!
well i retired my 92 cummins and picked up this 1972 K10. it is ALL ORIGINAL except for the interior, wheels, tires, and grille. even the plugs and wires were original. $1500 and i drove it the 60 miles home at 70 mph and got 7.5 mpg. dynamat under the carpet and that is very nice. plan to do a few modernization upgrades to make it a better driver and see where that takes me. typical tune up material, plugs wires, pertronix, cap, rotor, thermostat, hoses, p/s pump, battery cables, air filter, battery, carb rebuild, oil change, fuel filter, tach, headlights, and i have a squeak coming from the front passanger when the hubs are locked so will have to investigate that...anyway here are the pics

Re: 72 K10 Daily Driver!
Looks nice & straight, just a lil patina! But original plugs & wires on a 40-year old truck? Hmmmmmmmmmmm....

Re: 72 K10 Daily Driver!
it was a farm truck, it has dings and dents in the box but for the most part straight, i like the patina it has, gives some character. rust hole on the driver cab corner size of my finger and the rockers could use replacement but that is all as far as rust goes. yes it had the original plugs and wires, they weren't good by any means but they were original.
