<p>1966 K10 Chevrolet<br>
Shortly after I was enjoying a bit of money from a motorcycle accident insurance
settlement a coworker put this truck up for sale.&nbsp; It had been originally
sold to a rancher in the Carson Valley where I live.&nbsp; His son used to drop
the x'fer case, put in a longer drive shaft and go drag racing at the local
airport.&nbsp; Next the truck passed through a couple of hands before it was
traded in for a Harley and my coworker bought it.&nbsp; Before going on the road
I had to install the bed that was missing.&nbsp; Once the bed box was bolted
down I went to get the brakes fixed.&nbsp; The shop wouldn't touch the brakes
because the right front tire was about ready to fall off.&nbsp; At the 4x4 shop
we found the front differential seals were blown allowing the pumpkin's oil to
flow out the brake drums.&nbsp; To shorten the story, the only mechanicals still
left from when I bought the truck are the rear end, rear driveshaft and
transmission.&nbsp; Everything else has been replaced or rebuilt, but it has one
bodacious body for as bad as the running gear was.&nbsp; Finally, the truck is
back on the road serving as transport when I'm not riding motorcycles.&nbsp; Its
like I'm back in HS driving my 1960 C10, it was one of the rare ones with the
torsion bar front end and had a seriously tweaked 265 that had been pulled from
a Vette.</p>

  <p><i>Curator &quot;Patric - that truck looks pretty happy now.&nbsp; If these
  old bolts could talk!&quot;</i></p>
