I'm a sucker for buying stuff I don't need, just because I think I'll MAYBE need it later and it's hard to find.
Went to the salvage yard yesterday because they had a 1973 C10 on the lot. They RARELY have anything older that 1990s stuff. Had to take a look at it. Truck was in shambles BUT . . . . it does have the front suspension crossmember and disc brakes and PS box and collapsing steering shaft that makes a very nice upgrade to any 1960-71 truck. Plus, the engine was already pulled out. I could probably have that whole front suspension out and loaded to go home in 2 hours or less. Talk about easy.
Do I NEED it? NO!
Would it require many hours of work to make it ready for a swap? You bet.
I walked away but still think about it. I did tell a good friend about it. He may come get it.
I just need to fix what I have.
Haha! I could see where it would be hard to pass up. Hope I get so lucky. My buddy says he has 4 or 5 of them but a couple are buried. We'll see. Trying to get out there to see them is tough with our schedules. Maybe by the weekend.
