For some reason today, my wife mentioned to me she saw a 1976 C10 on FB Marketplace and told me to check it out. She knows I have been looking. I looked at it on FB and messaged the guy. I am very intrigued by it. I am probably going to slip off and go check it out next weekend if it is still around. Not very many details in the post other than it is a v8 and automatic. I would guess it has been painted because it looks decent in the pics. All I really want is just a driver. Not looking for a show truck. I've got a 70 Corvette that I have made too nice to really drive to the grocery store. I have touched every nut and bolt in the corvette, a couple of times in some places. I feel I am very capable of the mechanical work. Where should I be looking for problem areas? Frame areas to look at? 

 

My dad had a mid 70's 6 cylinder with 3 speed on the column.

 

Here are a few pictures of the truck.

Nice truck I’d only make a couple minor changes. 350, 6 speed stick, 410 posi and under dash ac. Otherwise I wouldn’t mess with it.

Under dash AC would be one of the few mods I would like to do to it. Get rid of those bumperettes on the front for one. Maybe address the drivers seat depending on what is under the cover.

 

It's hard to find a C10 for a fair price here that are not either rust buckets or dreamers.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
