I visited an old friend I had not seen in awhile yesterday--first thing I see in his yard ,had my nipples hardening !..
Not only does his son have no less than FIVE Chevy/GMC 4x4 pickups ranging from 1960-66 sitting in the yard,a few from out of state like MO and ME,that were solid as a rock,most were straight six's and 4 speeds,two had original small blocks,a few were 8 foot stepsides,others had flat or fleetside beds...all pretty much "original" and very restoreable--2 are registered and driven once in a while...those always have me drooling every time I go there..the other 3 sadly have not been moved or touched in at least 2-3 years though..
Every time I go there I ask if he'll part with one--the answer is always "no" though...
But a "new" truck I'd never seen there before he found in RI not long ago,really was a stunner...nice freshly painted deep blue,non mettalic 1979 Chevy K-10 ,with 42K original miles..underneath still looks nice for its age,despite it having a Fisher plow installed at some point--not long ago,by the looks of it..even has the original catalitic converter & exhaust,and the exhaust is just about due to be replaced...TH350 ,NP-203,and 350 engine,all in perfect working order..
He didn't say how much he paid,and I have seen trucks like it sell for 10K,so I'm betting it was not cheap...but well worth it...interior was unmolested and mint,like a time capsule inside too..it's his new "daily driver"....
