[Jake1971]

My first was a 1968 C10 that I bought from a co-worker in 1982... Stolen from my driveway three years later and never saw it again. In early January, 1986, after a long work day I saw a for sale sign on a '71 c10 just a few blocks from home. The engine was gone but the 3OTT was still in it and hanging from the firewall by baling wire. The seller wanted mere $100 and told me the utility bed was not part of the deal. I bought it and dragged it home with a lawn tractor. A co-worker was selling his '71 nova that had been stolen and beat to a pulp by the thieves for $250. My brother-in-law helped haul it home for parts and gave me a nice long fleetside bed for my truck. After a couple of weekends the 307/TH350 was in and running. Currently undergoing some much needed TLC after a D*dge hit me around 10 years ago (which totaled the D*dge ).
