At least you put on a good set of hooks
I've only seen them in people's garages and shops
I wanted to make sure they really worked

You see what it says on that truck

To get far enough away from the freeway

Hey Steve.
I'll have to take you up on another barbecue in the next month or so
I'm dealing with Nevada now
I'll hit you up when I get this flat fixed
And maybe some new tires

I was actually in search for shade
When the tow truck was on its was
I wasn't even thinking of trucks
Or on the board

I eventually went back to the truck
Got my headphones and cranked some

But I didn't have a knife

$hit. I didn't even have any water

Thank god I had my AAA card

They got us safely to a tire shop.
While I was picking all the stickers out of my socks
The driver somehow unloaded the truck next to a Ford
I hurried up. And asked them to pull it into the shop
And here was the problem

Congrats but I've learned the hard way twice. I literally replace the tires on the car as soon as I get it. I picked up a 67 camaro for a friend ( looked great , "drives" ). Got 5 miles and belt unraveled and messed up fender.

Re: WHAT! I came for 1 truck. I'm not sure if I need those other 26?!!

yolo

I was on the phone with my wife
Had been talking about my nice visit with Kevin
Told her how we hit it off
Kind of crazy. We didn't even know each other
Until I bought some parts from him last week
He pm'd me his phone #. And said to call him if I needed anything else

Then I heard a tick on the passenger front fender
I noticed it and kind of thought a piece of rust came loose or something

Then Ch ch ch Sssss
Thank god it wasn't rap rap rap

I said. I'll call you back
Pulled to the shoulder. And weighed my options
I had four spare tires(the originals) we had just loaded them when I left
But neither of us even looked if the jack was behind the seat
It wasn't.

When I had left Utah
I called Kevin on my way out
My gps said I could take 80. Or 50 to Reno
It was about the same distance
He said 80. More people in case I break down
In the end Great advise

Re: WHAT! I came for 1 truck. I'm not sure if I need those other 26?!!

Man. I was worn out
Last night
I just jumped a plane to Utah
Got delayed
Met some dude I didn't even know till a couple days before
Who picked me up at the airport
Dropped me off at some hotel.
In a town I didn't even know the name of

Who Picked me up the next morning.
To have breakfast

And as a bonus showed me his graveyard!

Went to another Chevy holding area and Checked that place out

Kinda both felt hungry again
Went to lunch. To discuss these other 26 trucks
Figured it was getting to the time we better load that truck so I could get out of there

Re: WHAT! I came for 1 truck. I'm not sure if I need those other 26?!!

I'm glad your rapidly demised tire was a whip whip hisssssss and not a KABLOOooweeee!!! I had the latter on my '72 last summer. Rear corner of fender dented and front trim curled out. At least the marker light was spared.


Back to your truck tale. I'm sure glad you haven't taken a step back and taken some good pictures of that short K/10 because we all hate to see pictures. We like to hear a fully detailed description of ever inch from front bumper bolts to tail lamp housings. Some say pictures are easier, but what do they know? And since I'm sure you didn't take any pictures of "the stash" there would be no way you would have anything to share there. I hope you are rolling on good rubber now, but please don't show pictures of them. We know what tires look like. I bet you're glad to be out of that desert sun situation (seriously)

What's up special-k

I know everyone loves the pictures on this site
Without them
It's kind of like posting a craigslist ad with no pictures
Everyone just scrolls on

I try and make my posts a bit more of a story
And there was a lot to this story
That happened in a very short time

I'm not sure either of us expected a deal like this
It just snowballed

The truck has been posted before
It's a
K10 cheyenne super shortbed
Never really been touched

Although the engine was pulled and a reman put in

I asked Kevin where the original engine was
He said. I got it , the original owners family told me to take it
Pointed over there
I walked over scraped off the pad
And took a picture

TDG
72 350 M/t 175hp 4 k10&20

I didn't even run the back casting dates. That was enough for me to be legit

Great story...great pics.
Strikes right at the point of this great hobby and the people involved in it as well as those on this website.

If only buying a newer vehicle had anywhere near the amount of 'positive adventure' and camaraderie to it....lol.

All Good

Re: WHAT! I came for 1 truck. I'm not sure if I need those other 26?!!

Cool beans on the original engine. So it's a 4spd? Very cool for a Cheyenne Super. I like your story posts. I've done a few myself. Makes me feel like Earnest Hemmingtruck.

We had some maniac in the news last week, was under arrest and escaped while being transported to be mentally evaluated. You know where they found him at night using night vision? In a culvert just like you were eyeing up. He had all these assault & attempted murder charges in other states, too. When they caught him his picture didn't look so good, cuts and head all swelled on one side. I guess he did his usual resist arrest, beat up, and charged with assault. Talk about rubbing assault into the wound. Uhhh, ok, anyway... They dropped those charges since he already had a hundred plus years looking at him. But they did find him mentally unfit to stand trial. I think they're just taking him back to the culvert and filling in the ends .

Just sayin', better watch which culvert you crawl into. Might be a mad man in there! Or, version #2... That sounds smart but maybe you need to be crazy to do it. What does this have to do with your nice new purchase? I bet he really wanted a cold beer after all that. How about you?
