I was very much on the fence.

After driving it around awhile, and the giant puddle of fluids underneath - I didn't want it to be my first automotive project. I need something a little less rough around the trans/engine as I start this journey.

I'm sure that I could have parted it out and made more than $1400, but that's not the goal (nor do I have the space for that).

Another possible platform to launch my automotive tinkering/restoration...

Not sure on the 3-speed manual on the floor in 71.

But for $1,200, the surface rust may be the only real problem!

I wish I were closer. That looks like a great buy and a nice start to a cool truck!

Would it have a 12 bolt with that engine combo?

Anyone have thoughts on this truck?

Heading up there tomorrow to take a look at it (3 hour trip) and hopefully purchase. From my limited knowledge, it looks like a 71 Cheyenne. Lady says that it's been passed down in the family from the original owner (the grandfather) and she's sending me the VIN - the PID is gone from the GB.

Hopefully the hunt is over and I can stop bothering this thread and move over to a build thread

I would think out your way you could find a rust free truck for that $...out east that's a good buy, now out west IMO
No a/c with rust is a deal breaker for me

I agree, that truck is an inch form being a parts truck. You are in what I call 'The Truck Rich Tri-State area of Washington, Idaho and Oregon "

First off you are not bothering anyone. Pretty much all of the members on these boards have got advice or help from another member over the years. With a 2 minute search I found this one in Portland Oregon, which is 3 hours from you. Don't know what your budget is but you would never get the truck your looking at to the level of this one in Portland , and it looks mostly original to me , for the asking price of 10, 500. You could probably get a few hundred for the cap if not more.
