New to the forum and New Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Vandy5 · 04-12-2013, 06:59 PM

Hello all I just purchased my second c10 and joined the forum I figured I would introduce myself and show off the new find! It is a 72 c10 Highlander the truck is in amazing shape. It has everything still in tack un altered. The body is very straight with just some minor surface rust. The interior is excellent and everything except the radio is in working order. I plan to drive it around for a few months and enjoy it then dig into doing a frame up resto. It runs great fires up instantly. Here are some pictures of the truck!

This is as i found it in the lot

And after removing the camper and a nice bath/scrub

There was a thread we had on that truck not too long ago.

Being a Highlander package and trim researcher I'd be really interested in seeing more and higher resoultion pictures of your seat cover as it looks very original.

Welcome.

yeah i think with some metal polish i can have them back to new quality as well.!

Vandy5 · 04-12-2013, 07:32 PM

Yeah thats the truck and 2800 was what i paid. I felt it was a fair deal. Most of the rust is surface nothing deep except the rear cab corners probally both could be changed out. But for my first frame up resto its perfect!

Yeah i can get you some more shots of the seat. It is in killer condition the green fabric looks brand new. Its the white trim thats a bit dirty. There are no tears or rips at all tho.

Vandy5 · 04-12-2013, 07:48 PM

i believe it has 90k original miles the truck is in to nice of shape to have rolled over. Im just doing a tune up on the motor now trying to get some throttle response back

SS Tim · 04-12-2013, 08:02 PM

Thanks for the pictures.

ha yeah i had a good feeling about the place i bought it from. i was happy with the price. I figure when i do the resto ill just replace both cab corners and be pretty good. And since so much of the original equipment is on it and working im going to try and keep it all original.

SCHRUMGMC · 04-13-2013, 09:21 PM
