I am in the process of buying an 82 C-10 long box 2wd. It is a 6 cylinder with a 3 on the tree. It only has 73,000 miles and is in pretty good shape. It will be my son's first vehicle when he starts school next fall. The truck it self is nothing very special, but my wife's grandfather bought it new and has been in the family since. We will probably take off the aluminum topper, change the wheels and add a stereo. Hopefully it should be a decent truck for him to learn in.
