So I went out there with the trailer and picked it up. It's now sitting out at Scott's (48bigtrucks). It was pretty much as advertised but we got it to run enough on labor day morning to decide it's got a good 350. I'm excited, I need one for the '47 panel! Scott has a few things he wants off it too. So we'll get together as soon as we can and tear into it, keep what we want and maybe a few other things too good to throw away, then haul the rest off to the boneyard.
So tonight I walked down the street and met the guy with the nice looking '71 C10. I was checking to see if he wanted any of it, and he ended up telling me about another free '70 that he passed up because he had no place to park it. Hmmmmm...
Said he'd get me a phone number on it...

I drove it 80 miles to my farm after nothing but a battery change, and changing one oil-fouled spark plug. It's got a 350 engine, 350 trans, power & air, etc. LOTS of rust, but that just makes for light weight. I'll use it around the farm until I need a round track race engine, then pull the 350 and build it.

an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
