Late March I bought 2 1967 C-10 trucks, 1 in NE Kansas and the other in Wheeless, OK. Look that up, it may as well have been NM. I wanted other parts the seller had and he kept putting off getting them ready for me, so a week ago I said I was coming down for the truck and he said he would have "everything ready". I left home at 8:45 am Monday April 25 and drove thru to Hutchinson KS and had a room for the night. I left there at 3:30 am and was at the location, after some terrible directions, at 10:45 am. NOTHING was ready and we spent the next 5 hours dismantling another truck for the parts I wanted and still didn't have time to get them all. His family runs cattle and he was supposed to be helping them round them up for market that day. As it was, I left at 4 PM and went to Boise City, OK. I was caked in dirt from the wind blowing like the dust bowl days, as they are extremely dry in OK. I bought a shower at the Love's truck stop in Boise, ate some pizza and hit the road at 6PM. I arrived home at 8:15 PM Wednesday. 2,022 rt miles in 60 hours. All that for this prize...
