Picked myself up this 75 k10 the other day for $250 bucks! It runs good but only moves in reverse so I'll be doing a transmission rebuild. Needs a good bit of love but I'll bring it back to life! Lots of interesting stuff about this truck! I think it's going to be a fun one! Basically going to be a restoration type job.

Some pics.

Insanely sketchy trailer used to haul it back to Portland from Vancouver.

I'm beginning to become very annoyed with the trucks you wind up with. :flipoff11:
I loved the shit out of the K20, I adore that CC you've got now, and now this, the knockout blow.



Can't wait to see where this one goes. Especially since I was looking at a 75 Scottsdale K20 Yesterday. Lot more rust and about $1750 more.

I'm still not totally sure how deep of a resto I want to do. Part of me says just enough to have it be just worth calling nice, and the other part of me says to do a crazy person type job on it.
 
I like everything about this truck! Super unmolested! Even the a/C (which I think is dealer installed?) is all there! Story goes that the guy I got it from bought it from the original owner in 79. He gave me receipts going back to 84.

It's going to be a good bit of work but should be cool when it's done.
 
Awesome! Looking forward to this.

The trailer did make me laugh out loud here at work though. :D
 
That's typically the condition you'll find one in around Nebraska, except people want $1500 for that.
 
I'm in Gresham. But really you can call it Portland. The only way you know you are in one and not the other is when you pass the sign that says welcome to Gresham.
