Title: Hello From Maine
Post by: Ride207 on September 10, 2014, 04:41:36 pm

Greetings All! I live on the midcoast of Maine and just bought a 1985 C10 SWB 5.0L 4sp granny.  I joined this forum to get some feedback and for a  reality check of my future plans. 

    History of the truck is well documented and one of the reasons I bought the truck.  Purchased originally 7/17/1985 (Three months to the day before I was born) in Missouri.  Sold to the 2nd owner in 2000 with the odometer at 148,000 miles.  2nd owner drove the truck from Missouri to Western Maine in 2000 where it has lived since I bought it.  2nd owner only used truck June – September at their lakeside camp, no Maine winters.  I purchased the truck for $1190 in mid August with the truck having 153,960 miles on it.  Drove the truck home 100 miles the next day.  Came with a maintenance schedule

     I use faststone image viewer, it's free and easy to use.  I also use photo bucket for a host site.

Welcome from Mass.
Looks like like you got a clean truck at a great price.
I'm sure clean trucks are fairly rare in Maine, they certainly are in Mass.
Was that a Craigslist find?.
