The truck was originally blue, but had been primed and painted green at some point. The cab's floors have the usual rot, but it had also taken a pretty good smack to the left front and had a decent amount of bondo and oil-canning in the left rear. The good news was that the engine turned over fine by hand, and after changing plugs, points, condenser and wires the little 283 fired right up on fresh gas. Honestly, I would've left it banged up as is and driven the snot out of it. But that wasn't to be the case. More on that in the next post.
