Hi all I'm new to posting on forms so please bear with me. My truck story starts with a phone call to check up on some elderly distant relatives 2 years ago. They both were active in the old car community where they lived and knew of my interest in older vehicals. When I made the above phone call they asked if I had any interest in there 1967 chevy c10 fleetside. Why sure how much was my answer. Come down and look at it and we will discuss it was the answer. I'd never been to ther house and it was a 3 hour drive. When I got a chance to look the truck over the decission was made ,I'd take it. Again I asked the price the response this time was it was free for the taking. As we all know nothing is completely free, I had to pay to get it home and the brakes needed a complete rebuild but I think I came out ok.

That's about as close to free as it gets. Welcome to the stovebolt addiction.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Thanks for the welcome. When I figure out how to post some pictures I will. More to the story, my father in law worked at the G.M. truck plant in Saint Louis in 1967, he owned a white with blue interior 67 or 68 chevy c10 at this time (which this truck was from the factory) and my wife was born in 1967.

Welcome blue, always room for another stovebolt addict. I'd say you came out okay, hard to beat that deal. Good luck with the restoration.

Hi blue67, welcome from Scotland.
Your addiction is obviously 'in the blood'!
Good luck.

All they wanted was to have the truck have a good home.You must have passed the test or else it would have been more than you would have wanted to pay. Free is good. You can't put a price on your hobbies and entertainment. Do we make money on any hobby? You are farther ahead than most of us. Good luck and welcome to Stovebolt!
