Hello!
Newby here. I’ve had square bodies most of my life. Throught I would share this ole C10. My Grandpa bought it new as a farm truck in Michigan. 2wd, in-line 6, 3 speed on the column. Plain-jane custom deluxe. Minor Michigan rust but always garage kept.
Lots of memories- Grandma taught all us kids to drive it in the hay fields.
I inherited it 5 years ago after they passed away. It sat for about 5 years prior. Only had 39k miles then.
I have it in Tennessee and “restored” it for daily use. Radiator, water pump, power brake conversion, brake lines end to end, (all the minor expandable stuff)
Great old truck and I have three boys who are excited about us doing a total restoration some day!

Welcome to the site. It certainly isn't what I would picture a farm truck to look like after 40 years.

I thought the same. Must be a different kind of farming than I do or he is a much more careful farmer than I am. haha

My farm truck is a bit denty and paint chippy! Those are new adjectives you are free to use. haha

Welcome from South Dakota.
Learning to drive with a 3 on the tree must have been fun! I'm guessing that there are fery few people that could drive one nowdays.

Welcome!
Got any interior pics ?

I had a 65 Ford with a 6 and 3 on the tree in HS.

4 in the cab meant the person beside the driver had to shift. LOL



My mom drove that thing in high heels when I was a kid - I now wonder HTH , and she does not remember how either - she just did it.

Awesome response! Thanks everyone. Yeah My Grandparents really took care of that ole farm truck. I seriously don’t have to worry about many people borrowing it because of the three on the tree!
