People send in Craigslist ads and story ideas to us all the time. And sometimes people send us funny Craigslist ads. Often those funny ads are too “colorful” in the language department to make it. Such is not the case with this one. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t funny as hell. The person writing this one is great and we love it. The truck? Not so much. The ad, hell yes. Read this. It is worth the time.

You want a truck that everyone will compliment you on? Well look no further – me 1970 C-10.

Let me tell you a story. One day my truck started making a strange sound. I turned up the radio and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the Chevy 350 out of this car, drop it off the Mendota Bridge into the Minnesota River, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it back in the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would start right up. This truck will outlive you, it will outlive your children.
Things this truck is old enough to do:
Vote: yes
Consent to sex: yes
Run for President
This truck’s got history. It’s seen some stuff. It’s not going to judge you like a damn Ford or Dodge would.
Interesting facts: This car’s exterior color is white, it’s interior is torn and covered with a crappy old seat cover that should be replaced… In the owner’s manual, oil is listed as “optional.”
When this car was unveiled at the 1967 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously catch fire. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary “The New Chevy C-10: The Truck that Runs Forever”
You wanna know more? Great, I had my truck fill out a Facebook survey.
Favorite food: Cheeseburgers
Favorite tv show: The Rockford Files
Favorite band: tie between AC/DC and Foghat
This truck is as practical as a Roth IRA. It’s as utilitarian as a truck can be. When I ran the CarFax for this truck, I got back a single piece of paper that said, “It’s a C-10. It’s fine.” Let’s face the facts, this truck isn’t going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn’t the truck you want, it’s the truck you deserve: The 1970 Chevrolet C-10.
This truck has very little rust underneath – you can crawl under and look for yourself. There is rust on the passenger rocker and fender – both easy fixes. This truck is ripe for a restoration or even better a resto-mod!
Comes with collector plates, transfer them to yourself and never pay the government for plates again!
Come take a look for yourself.
Fuh-kin-A.
