Hey everyone!

Been a car and motorcycle enthusiast since probably freshman year of high school way back in ‘04 . Been through building turbo Hondas in high school, to crotch rockets in the military, to slammed cars and trucks, to built 02 Dakota r/t, to an 07 built LBZ duramax, several Harley’s, to my current truck is a 2022 ram 2500 6.7 Cummins (all delete parts in my shed waiting to purchase tuning to install) overland rig, built 1987 Harley softail (bout to switch over to a rigid frame) and my wife’s 2020 jeep gladiator rubicon. Along with a lot of buying, fixing, and trading bikes and vehicles to get to the reason I’m on here! Bought a rough 2007 cbr 600 for $3400. Put about $800 in it. Traded that for a 2021 husqvarna tx300i dirt bike with only 5 hours on it. Put about $1k into that. Finished it this past Saturday, a friend bought it for $8k yesterday, and on the way home I got this truck for that exact $8k!! (Seemed to be a great deal with the market and the going prices of them in my area VA)

1984 Chevrolet c10 long bed with the 250ci I-6 automatic!! Owner has had it since 2019 and maybe put 3k miles on it. He got it from an old guy who had it since 1990. It was resprayed in white(original color is white) in the 90’s some point kinda a rough job but not a bad 20 footer lol. Cab corners have a little bondo, two small rust spots near the kick panels inside bc the weather stripping on the windows need to be replaced, but other then that the frame and rest of the body are great! It’s a Canadian truck, had original options paper from the factory laminated in the engine bay, can still read the driver door jam sticker, and Canadian truck round sticker as well. Has the factor a/c, previous owner never tried to use it so not sure if it works, power steering. It runs and drives great with just one small hiccup that had me searching the internet for several hours last night for a possible solution. Going to do some more digging on here, but when you come up to a stop light the idle drops and will stall out unless you pop it in neutral and feather the throttle or hold the brake and throttle the same time in drive!

Other then that and gonna have to wire my brain on messing with a carb and inline six this should be a fun little cruiser!

Any help on questions I ask in other parts of the forum I want to go ahead and say thank you and appreciate the support!!

Thanks everyone!

I’ll post the listing photos and the couple I have from getting it home!
