I just recently drove this 1978 Chevy C10 from Idaho to my home in Minnesota. It made the trip almost flawlessly, but it needs some tidying up and general maintenance. This thing looks like a pooch on the outside, but it's 100% solid underneath and the drivetrain is plenty healthy, it sure deserves the overdue work. You gotta love a beat up classic that's ready to drive anywhere. And as always, I didn't get done as much as I wanted, so there may be more content on this truck.
