The Sparkseses could use something to ride around in, all 4 of us, as a family and pull boats and junk cars and horses and such.
So this is the most recent in a long line of Trades. A 1983 F350 got traded for a 1977 Shortbed Chevy that got traded for a 1992 Chevy Van, that Got traded for a 1950 1 ton Chevy truck that got traded for a Goldwing that got traded for a 4x4 Toyota that got traded for a '79 El Camino that got traded for this...a 1983 4x4, ½ Ton Chevy Suburban:
First, I had to retrieve it. This was a joint effort between the previous owner (who now owns one of the rustier examples of El Camino I've seen in a while) and I. Here it is on his neighbor's trailer behind my wife's '83 K2500.
That photo alone made the trade seem worthwhile.
As-aqcuired, it's kinda gross. All sorts of detritus, artifacts, rodent...evidence, and about 50 really crusty pennies.
But...I think it'll clean up enough to be an acceptable utility workhorse for us!
