Greetings all,
I've been looking for an old Chevy truck for some time. I gave up a year or so ago, not able to either pay the price for one in decent shape to start a restoration, or only finding ones in very bad shape that their owners thought were treasures.

I did find a 3/4-ton stakebed in a Craig's list ad, went to see it and then the owner just disappeared of the face of the Earth. The truck is still sitting in the commercial lot but I can't find the guy.

Anyway, I saw another ad on CL and ran down there that day. This one seems all there and in decent shape. I bought it on the spot and now just have to get it home. The wheels are frozen so it's time for some Kroil and a hammer.

So that's the truck as it was purchased. Now I just have to get it into the garage and start the tear down.
