This started in March of this year- a friend of mine sent me a pic of my "first" truck- a 1976 K10, sm465/ 205/ 12bolt/ 10bolt. I came home from the hospital as an infant in this truck, cut my teeth as a mechanic, helping my dad give it tune ups, and oil changes, grew up riding in it to haul firewood, as a daily driver, it was my first vehicle when I turned 16 and the first vehicle I took "four wheeling".
Old Chevys don't hold up well in the northeast, and this one succumbed to my teenage enthusiasm for dirt roads, rocks and general tomfoolery.
I'd been looking for a replacement ever since, and when my buddy sent the photo I started looking again.
Found this thing on FB marketplace - advertised as a one owner, low mileage truck. $1500.
Sent the message, made a few phone calls, and later that day I exchanged cash for title... and another piece of paper... which turned out to be the death certificate of the previous owner, who, as it turned out, was someone I knew... or so I thought.
A week later we pulled what has been named "Woodley" out of the woods, up a hill, and onto a roll back for a quick ride to my house.
