Bought this in Dec 14 as a blank canvas to go wild on as most other cars or pickups I've had have been too nice to mess about with. Whereas this has a lot of part missing and has been stood since 2003 in Oregon and I guess giving its parts to keep another truck the owner had alive.
It was only imported to the UK in Sept 14 so still has its Oregon plates attached, I'll need to get it UK road standard and then apply for a UK reg when ready.
Its a straight six, but has carb, inlet and exhaust manifolds, dynamo etc missing. These parts aren't too common over here, the V8 being more popular and hence part being available mainly for V8's. So I might go for an engine swap out, maybe Lexus V8 or something else, not sure yet.
Photos below from the vendors Ad in the UK, it was a chap who imports USA trucks to UK. Caught him on a good (for me) day as he was desperate to move it on as he had more trucks arriving and no one was interested in this one.
I have another pickup as well a 59 Apache fleetside, which is standard
