Post by: Kenan on February 11, 2012, 06:01:57 pm: Hi dear friends. I am Kenan from Turkey. I have a 1980 C10 Custom Deluxe. Im working since 2008 february on the truck. Its not easy to get the parts . Lot of the replacements are from different wrecks. And its always used and three times expensiver as in the states . I also buyed Some small new parts from truck ant Rockauto. But the delivery costs are more than the order :-\Dthis summer i hope i finish it. Maybe some of you can give me tips when im trouble.

Also, once you get it together right, and don't abuse it too badly, they can really last a long long time. I had a '74 model that got little mechanical attention, and drove it from '87 until I sold it in 2000. Poor thing even got me from NM to AL with no breakdowns.
It was also a great truck for be-bopping around the high plains and canyonlands where I grew up.

istanbul? not constantinople?

The anncient name was constantinopolis because it was the capital of the east roman emperium.
Since 1453 the name is Istanbul.
