Hate to do this but my needs have changed and a classic truck doesn't fit into my plans at the moment.

It's a K10 (4x4 works great) with a 350 and a TH350 auto tranny. No clue on the miles since it's only 5 digits, but the ODO reads ~49K. Starts and runs great. Carb needs adjusted (high RPMs), and I'm going to try and get to that soon, but it runs like a top. You're car guys so I won't post the price of everything I put into this, and I know I'll never see all of that back but here goes.

The good/replaced within the last year (all new, not refurbed or junk yard parts):

- Full true dual exhaust system, headers included, with Percy's gaskets.
- Michelin 31" tires.
- Rear drums completely rebuilt, new shoes.
- Front rotors, calipers, pads.
- Master Cylinder
- Air filter.
- Plugs and wires.
- Battery.
- Battery cables.
- Headlights.
- High beam foot switch.
- Tail light lenses.
- Wiper blades.
- Wiper switch.
- U joints on rear drive shaft.
- Heat works great.
- Previous owner put in a new alternator.
- Will come with an extra set of exhaust gaskets, new wiper motor (current one works, just doesn't always shut off right away), and a new transmission dipstick and tube.
- Has a working spotlight (not sure what you'd use it for, but it's fun).

The Bad:

It's a '78. Was in the process of restoring. Body has rust (see pics) but frame is solid. It is usable, but it's definitely a project. Won't lie about that. I was driving it 60+ miles a day until I got a beater Hyundai to save on gas. Fuel gauge doesn't work right and sometimes not at all. Haven't looked into what is causing this yet. Dash is cracked and the seat is torn, hence the cover. Speedo is off about 10MPH. Shift linkage may be bad. It's hard to get it to shift out of park most times. It's an old restoration project so use common sense and you'll understand what you're getting.

More pics here.

Since I have to post a price I'll say $2,500. Feel free to talk cash or trade. As some for sale posts commonly say, the worst I can do is say, "no thanks."

Located in central Ohio.

That a shame Randy. Wish I could help you, but my wife would shot me I bring home another truck.

I would buy the push bar, if you would want to sell that!

Want to sell everything together, but if I do end up parting it out you've got dibs. :)

I'll take more pics tomorrow. Have a few others asking about it. It's not terrible, but it's far from perfect.

LOL....hard to do when you live in the burbs and they frown upon you parking on the grass. I do plan on expanding my driveway in the near future. At that point I'll have more room but for your sake I hope you have her sold before then. Definitely looks like a restoreable truck :waytogo:

It's not far off. I have a good start on it. Wish I didn't have to let her go.

Replace the grass with gravel. Problem solved. Less mowing means more time for the truck. Bonus Win.
