Thank you! Isn't it, though? I'm going to concentrate on mechanicals and the interior initially.

Thank you! The push bumper (plow mount? in CA?) will be staying. Besides, at the inside of the uprights, they're welded to the bumper. Whatever it's for, it's hella stout.

Thanks! And it would probably be a happy little hauler...

Thank you! The paint is in awful condition, but it's staying.

So, that's not your neighborhood. That's where you bought it, right?

Thank you! Great info, I'll have to check that out. Why I came here.
That's the P/O's home. The Chevy out front is for sale too, but I think I talked the son into NOT letting it get away from him. That would be a mistake.

Nice find........if it's a 4 speed it's either a SM420 or SM465 Muncie.....both very strong............that would make a nice little truck.......dash looks a bit Tijuana......

Thank you! More helpful info. Yeah, the dash is one of the first to be "tidied up", I can only imagine what the pad looks like under there...
