So about 4 years ago I decided I wanted an old truck. Cause everybody needs a car that is older then their kids, gets 7 miles to the gallon, and breaks down all the time. So I started out with a 1984 Ford pick up. Great truck, little bit of rust and I traded into it for an AK that I was not using.. Well 9 months went by and I decided a 25 year old truck was not good enough so I listed it here on ODT and sold it. Made a little bit of cash and made an ODTers kid happy.
So next I bought a CHEVY. Oh boy was I hooked. 1964 Chevy C10 in Red. Super cool truck, nice body lines, cool stance and all. So that truck had some serious rust that was covered up with bondo and cheap paint. Yeah I did not do good buying this one. Got caught up in the outside appearance and low price. So this truck sat in my garge for about 9 months and then I finally decided I wasn not gonna fix it and so I listed it for sale. Put this one on Facebook Market and actually sold it to a guy from NY and I did not lose any money. Surprised on that one.
Well learned alot with the 64. But I still had the itch for an old truck. So the search continued. Then in August of 21 I found a decent prospect. Ended up buying it and bringing it home. Drove it 40 miles home and it drove like a champ. I finally had my old pick up. A 1972 C10 long bed with a funky blue repaint. but hey it drove and made me feel cool.
Now this one was cool, hell my kids liked it, my wife thought it was OK, and my dog loved it. I had finally found my truck. But as you all know, we can't leave well enough alone. So I drove it for about 5 months and really enjoyed it, BUT the color kinda sucked and the bed was really long. So over the next year and a half I proceeded to tear my perfectly good truck apart to make it the cool looking short bed that I wanted.
I will post some the the work that was done soon. Thanks for reading.
