Hehe...thanks a bunch Matt...I guess. 
Me and C-10 trucked over 120 miles for that
danged tree...so it's nice to have ya' show it off for me!
I'm honored to be nominated in this contest and
in light of the nomination, a little background might be in order...
'C-10' was purchased in about 1989 for $256 at auction. No tranny or drive line,
no-top half of the engine and no interior.
I just had to have her!
She was cobbled together with maginal parts back then and ran on a 200k 350 SBC
until 2007 and a worn-out race car tranny.
Since that time, she's gotten a rebuilt, stock 327 LJ engine (2007), it still has the
worn-out race car tranny (basically a used/abused turbo 400, but still going strong) and new
suspension and brakes, installs spanning from 1998 thru 2009.
Better wiring was salvaged from a 1990 GMC a couple years ago.
She may be a beater but she is also my very safe daily driver and the love of my life!
BTW...
She was once one color (marginally, thanks to Krylon).
My much loved beater...I'd be on foot without her!
Good Luck everyone! Ellen
