My 1967 C10 stepside was purchased eight years ago from the second owner for $16,000 cash. It needed no work or modifications, and has served me well during my ownership. Replaced the battery and tires, but nothing else. Color is light green, and I am deluged with inquiries from Walmart customers as soon as I park it there. It is truly a beautiful un-restored truck, and I have no plans to sell it. I complete oil changes and other routine maintenance at home, and use the truck for hauling anything that won't fit into our Toyota Prius. The battery was replaced with another lead-acid battery from Costco a couple of years ago, and it still works flawlessly. I'm having problems with a brake pedal that seems to get "sticky" in the middle of the pedal stroke, but have had no success getting it diagnosed and fixed. The engine is the original six-cylinder of unknown displacement. I keep the truck garaged when not in use and don't drive it in rain or snow.
I also have never washed the truck, preferring to wipe off the dust with a treated dust cloth from Walmart. Rust is no longer a concern due to my attention to keeping away moisture. The truck is now clad with Cooper tires that provide a reasonably smooth ride, good handling, braking, and little or no sliding in turns. The six-cylinder engine works well in the Prescott, Arizona area, where speeds are usually limited to speeds of 55 mph or lower, so I have no plans to switch engines to a higher-horse powered V8.
If anyone has an answer as to the possible causes of the brake pedal that hesitates mid-stroke, I would appreciate a reply. The brake pads are of the original type.....not the newer discs. The brakes work smoothly, but the pedal-action sucks.
