Introducing latest project

I found another one. It was priced right and only an hour away. 181k on the odometer. It was last plated in 2003.

Fired right up. Brakes and power steering are good. Front axel needs done but so does my 80. I can do both together. The truck has a good bit of body damage, interior is bad, suspension frame and motor are in good shape. It looks like the motor has never been worked on. Maybe timing but has the original carb still.

I'll migrate the best parts I need over to the 80. And then figure out what is left. I know finding a bed for this will be tough. Flat bed it? Or leave this weird shit update with a better seat and keep the theme going??

 

If you dont mind me asking; Whatd it cost you?

 

Nice find. I had a similar 1 back in the mid 80's. Brings back memories. Should have kept it.

 

No problem 3,500.00 dollars. Clean title.

 

Nice! Look forward to seeing the progress.

 

Wow what a great deal congratulations!!

It’s funny the first full picture of the trucks side I thought it had a decal or was painted, then I realized pieces were missing, still a great find!!!

 

I'm torn on what to do with the back end. Find an old short box (expensive), put in a new modern back seat and repair old rust? Take all the shit off and flat bed it?

 

nice! congrats

 

Love it! These things can be forgotten about for decades and still be worth the elbow grease to bring them back.
