Re: where was your truck originally sold?

My 1970 shortbox K10 was sold at Davidson Chevrolet in Rome NY for $4697 in September of 1969. The dealer still exists. She was assembled and born at the Tarrytown assembly plant on the Hudson River. I live in Rochester, NY. Truck has never left NYS and is a rare rust belt survivor! It was sold with a dealer installed snow plow on it so the farmer who bought it could plow the roads on his property. A few other cool things I have learned as I pull her apart is the heater core was date coded 1969 and made at Harrison Radiator in Buffalo NY. (GM closed it in the 90's, plant is still there) and the Rochester Monojet carb was made at Rochester Products just down the block from where I work. (Plant is still there, still automotive with some GM content, but certainly not carbs!) RP is of course famed for the Rochester Quadrajet, but there were a ton of bread and butter Monojets that rode around on sixes in the day.
