1976 Chevy Silverado C10 350 / 350 trans 59k miles

Thank you for letting me join!  I've been lurking on this site since I bought my truck in February and thought I'd post and share it with you all.  It has a few rough spots on the exterior but the interior is like new.

Howdy from Oklahoma.  Your '76 looks to be in good shape.  Post some interior photos when you get a chance.

     I am not a fan of the red interiors, but that color wood bezel and trim on the doors and dash are the perfect offset for the truck.  Very nice looking, great looking interior, someone took really good care of it.

Yeah the owner was a little over 100 (102 I think) years old.  It was her husbands.  They kept it garaged and only drove it a few times a year.

     Holy age batman.   ;D  Good for her.
     I would say that falls under the "classic" barn find then.  That makes the story even better in my opinion.
