Here it is, the perfect truck! Starts, runs and drives beautifully. This particular truck lived it’s life as a C20 3/4 ton until a recent update to a C-10 style 1/2 ton, which is perfect if you plan to drive it!
What I mean is, the ride quality is vastly improved, and the truck has been lowered properly with drop spindles, and new lowering springs both front and rear. Couple this with the excellent wheel and tire choice, and just the right amount of surface rust, non-surface rust, and patina, and sitting down to the perfect stance, you will have one of the coolest cruising trucks out there!
Most of these truck worked hard in their early lives, and to have a nice original truck that has been well taken care of and survived the decades to be given a new youthful style such as this, just breathes new life into our Hotrod/Classic/Collector car and truck hobby.
Is there anything left to do on this truck…Well, only if you desire to. Otherwise, this is an outstanding truck to cruise in, take to a car show, or drive it everyday, anywhere, anytime.
Truly and excellent truck for whatever your desires are!
